Court Correspondent :
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Sunday upheld High Court order clearing the way for Ghulam Muhammad Quader, known as GM Quader, to perform responsibilities as Jatiya Party (JP) Chairman.
A four-member full bench of the Appellate Division headed by Justice M Enayetur Rahim dismissed a leave to appeal petition filed by JP leader Ziaul Haque Mridha challenging the High Court order.
Now, there is no legal bar for GM Quader to perform as the JP Chairman following the Appellate Division order, his lawyer Md Ozi Ullah told the media.
Mridha, a former JP lawmaker, submitted the leave to appeal petition through his lawyer Md Helal Uddin in February last year seeking to the apex court to prohibit GM Quader to perform activities of the party.
