The Appellate Division has dismissed the Jamaat's leave to appeal against the High Court's ruling that the registration of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is illegal, resulting in the cancellation of the Jamaat's registration.
After the hearing on that appeal, the Appellate Division upheld this sentence on Sunday.
A 6-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Obatadul Hasan gave this order.
The preliminary hearing of this writ petition issued a ruling on January 27, 2009. The defendants were asked to respond to the ruling within six weeks. The ruling asked why the registration of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami would not be violated and violated the 90 (b) (1) (1) (1) (b) (2) and 90 (c) articles of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.
After the ruling on the registration of Jamaat, once in December of that year, twice in July and November 2010 and twice in October and November 2012, they amended their constitution and submitted it to the Election Commission.
In these amendments, the name of the party was changed to ‘Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’ by changing the name of the party ‘Jamaat Islami, Bangladesh’.
Later on February 18, 2013, the applicants applied to the Chief Justice for the formation of a bench for hearing the rule. In view of this application, the application was sent to the double bench headed by Justice M Moazzam Hossain on March 5. As constitutional and law questions were involved, the two benches ordered the application to be sent to the Chief Justice, referring to the need for hearing in the larger bench.
