DHAKA, Nov 17, 2021 (BSS) - The High Court today scrapped a writ, 
challenging the legality of parliament membership of Tangail-4 lawmaker Hasan 
Imam Khan Sohel.

   A High Court division bench comprising Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice 
Khandaker Diliruzzaman passed the order today.

  Advocate Shah Manjurul Haque moved the plea before the court, while Deputy 
Attorney General Amit Das Gupta argued for the state. Tangail Awami League 
leader Mokhlesur Rahman filed the writ on November 16, making officials 
concerned including Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) as respondents.

  Mokhlesur Rahman had sent a letter to the CEC, saying there is 
inconsistency in the information given by the lawmaker in his affidavit 
regarding his educational qualification. But as the Election Commission did 
not respond to his call, the petitioner filed the writ with the High Court, 
the deputy attorney general said.
