The Supreme Court (SC) yesterday upheld a High Court (HC) verdict that declared illegal the schedule of the Jhalakathi municipality election slated for January 27. Justice SK Sinha, chamber judge of the Appellate Division, did not pass any order on a petition filed against the HC judgment. Abdul Halim Gazi, a voter in the municipality, filed the writ petition with the HC on January 23 challenging the voter list of Ward-7. The HC verdict now remains valid, as the SC did not pass any order against it, lawyer Toufiq Inam Tipu, a counsel for the writ petitioner, told The Daily Star.
