The High Court of Bangladesh has dismissed a petition filed by Mahmudur Rahman Manna, president of the political platform Citizen Unity, seeking removal of his name from the list of loan defaulters. The bench of Justice Md Bazlur Rahman and Justice Md Manzur Alam issued the order on Wednesday, effectively disqualifying Manna from contesting in the upcoming national election. According to court documents, Manna’s company, Afaku Cold Storage Limited, owes Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited approximately Tk 38.04 crore. The bank’s Bogura branch had issued a call-back notice earlier in December, demanding repayment by December 18. Failure to comply led to the company’s inclusion in the defaulter list. Due to a three-day court recess, Manna cannot appeal before December 28, leaving his disqualification in effect. Legal analysts note that the decision underscores the Election Commission’s strict enforcement of financial eligibility rules for candidates. Manna may still seek redress through the chamber court after the holidays, but his immediate electoral prospects remain uncertain.
