HC stays suspension of 6 UP chairmen
The High Court (HC) yesterday stayed for three months a government order that had suspended six union parishad (UP) chairmen of Bishwanath upazila of Sylhet.
A vacation bench of the HC comprising Justice Hasan Foez Siddique and Justice AKM Shahidul Haque came up with the order and rules following hearing on six separate petitions filed by the suspended chairmen challenging the legality of the government decision.
The suspended chairmen are Mohammad Lilu Miah of Alamkari Union, Nizam Uddin Siddique of Khajanthi Union, Md Jalal Uddin of Bishwanath Union, Kabir Hossain Miah of Lamakazi Union, Md Tahid Miah of Dewkolosh Union and Md Abbas Ali of Dowlatpur Union.
Contacted, Deputy Attorney General Amit Talukder said that upazila nirbahi officers of Bishwanath on July 2 suspended the six as per a decision of local government and rural development ministry.
The six chairmen were implicated in the charge sheet of a case filed on April 23 in connection with disappearance of BNP leader M Ilias Ali.
