The High Court has ordered Rangpur returning officer to accept the nomination application of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Golam Rabbani, who is running on the BNP’s ticket from Rangpur 5 seat.
The bench of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Razik-Al Jalil gave the order on Monday (Dec 3) following a petition filed by Rabbani.
The plea said that the returning officer did not accept Rabbani’s nomination despite all relevant documents.
Rabbani was kept waiting for a long time and refused to accept his nomination papers on Nov 28, when the deadline for filing nomination ended.
Rabbani moved the court on Saturday (Dec 1) challenging the decision.
