HC postpones SUCSU polls

The High Court has postponed the Shahjalal University Central Students Union (SUCSU) and Hall Union elections for four weeks. 

The High Court bench, comprising Justice Fahmida Quader and Justice Md Asif Hasan, issued the order on Monday (January 19) afternoon following a hearing on a writ petition filed in this regard.

The petitioners were represented by Barristers Ruhul Quddus Kajol, Rashna Imam, and Moniruzzaman Asad, while Advocate Mohammad Hossain Lipu appeared for the university. Additional Attorney General Anik R Haque represented the state.

The writ petition was filed on Sunday by independent SUCSU candidate Mominur Rashid Shuvo. The Chief Election Commissioner and other concerned parties were named as respondents in the petition.

The SUCSU elections were scheduled to be held on Tuesday.
