The High Court on Monday postponed Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) central student union (SUCSU) election slated for Tuesday.


The HC bench of Justice Fahmida Quader and Justice Md Ashif Hasan passed the order after hearing a writ petition.

Barrister Ruhul Kuddus Kajol stood for the petitioner while Advocate Mohammad Hossain Lipu stood for SUST and Additional Attorney General Anik R Haque represented the state.

Earlier, on Sunday, Maminur Rashid Shuvho, an independent candidate of SUCSU polls, submitted a writ petition seeking stay order on the election as the Election Commission issued an order to suspend activities of all kinds of elections before the national election scheduled to be held on February 12, reports UNB. 

Chief Election Commissioner and others made respondents to the rule.
