Writ challenges legality of BCB AGM

A writ petition was filed with the High Court challenging the legality of Bangladesh Cricket Board's proposed Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Barrister Mahbub Shafique on behalf of architect Mubasshar Hossain filed the petition with the related branch of the High Court.

Earlier, the present Board of Directors of the cricket board declared to hold the AGM after claiming that the Supreme Court recently gave the verdict in favour of them. Then, Mubasshar Hossain sent a legal notice asking the current cricket board authority to refrain from holding the AGM.

Mubasshar claimed that according to the Supreme Court verdict, the BCB has no legal rights to call annual general meeting. However, BCB is planning to host the AGM on October 2 at a city hotel. That’s why he sent the legal notice to seven persons and organizations including BCB president to stop all kinds of official activities in this regard.

The notice said that BCB will have to stop annual and special meetings within 72 hours upon receiving the notice. As the BCB did not reply the legal notice, the writ petition has been filed seeking HC directive over the matter, Mahbub Shafique said.
