The High Court on Thursday suspended a gazette issued by the Election Commission (EC) declaring Abdul Hyee, a lawmaker of Jhenaidah-1 from Awami League, as the winner in the 12th national parliamentary election held on January 7.
The postponement has been made for two months.
Justice AKM Asaduzzaman's single High Court bench passed the order on Thursday following a writ petition.
Advocate Mujibur Rahman moved the plea before the court.
Md Abdul Hai was declared the winner as he bagged 94,379 votes, while his closest rival Nazrul Islam got 80,547 votes in the January 7 election. Nazrul filed the election petition, accusing Hai of violating the election code of conduct.
Earlier on January 2, a case was filed against Abdul Hyee for violating the electoral code of conduct.
On December 24, more two cases were filed against the lawmaker for violating the code of conduct.
