HC verdict on Nizam Hazari’s JS membership deferred

The High Court yesterday deferred till August 23 the pronouncement of its verdict on a writ petition challenging the legality of parliament membership of Nizam Uddin Hazari of Feni-2 constituency, reports UNB.
An HC bench of Justice Md Emdadul Haque and Justice Md Iqbal Kabir fixed the fresh date and asked the authorities concerned to submit the documents about Nizam Uddin Hazari’s jail term.
On August 3, the same bench of the HC set August 17 for pronouncing its verdict on the writ petition.
Earlier, the HC bench sought the details of jail term served by the ruling party MP in an arms case. 
As the prosecution did not provide any document in this regard, the court deferred the hearing. In 2014, the writ petition was filed with the HC attaching a newspaper report of May 10, 2014 stating that Nizam Uddin Hazari was awarded 10 years’ imprisonment in an arms case, but he was freed from jail two years and 10 months before the jail term completed.
Besides, the HC on June 8, 2014, issued a rule asking the government, the Election Commission and Nizam Uddin Hazari to explain within four weeks under what authority the MP claims to hold the public office concealing information about his early release from jail in the arms case.
As two HC benches expressed their embarrassment to hear the rule, the Chief Justice had sent it to the HC bench, headed by Justice Md Emdadul Haque. The HC bench started the hearing on the rule on January 19 last.
