A writ petition was filed with High Court yesterday seeking cancellation of BNP's Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Tabith Awal's nomination bringing allegation of concealing wealth information in election affidavit.
Retired judge of Appellate division AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik filed the petition with the concerned bench. The hearing on the writ is likely to be held in the bench of Justice JBM Hasan and Justice MD Khairul
Alam today (Monday). The petitioner said that the Election Commission and other concerned have been made respondents to the writ. The petitioner on January 23 told reporters that 'Tabith along two others has shares in NFM Energy (Singapore) private company limited. Tabith did not mention it in his affidavit." As the EC did not take any action as per his complaint, he filed the writ with the HC, said the former judge.
