The High Court has issued a rule against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin on charges of contempt of court, asking why disciplinary action should not be taken against him.
The rule was issued on Sunday (January 25) by a High Court bench comprising Justice Fahmida Kader and Justice Md Asif Hassan.
Advocate Yunus Ali Akand filed the petition seeking the rule, alleging that the Election Commission violated a court order by failing to comply with directives regarding the registration of a political party named Krishak Sramik Janata Party.
