The High Court on Monday dismissed a writ petition challenging the legality of the schedule for the 12th parliamentary election.
The High Court bench comprising Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice Md Atabullah passed the order.
Advocate Md Eunus Ali Akond stood in favour of the petition in the court, while Attorney General AM Amin Uddin represented the state.
Eunus Ali filed the writ petition in the relevant branch of the High Court on November 29.
The petition included the chief election commissioner, the election commission secretary, the secretary of the Ministry of Law, and seven others as defendants.
Earlier, the lawyer sent a legal notice on November 28.
The notice highlighted the ongoing political crisis in the country, stating that strikes and blockades are ongoing, making it impossible to conduct fair elections.
The 12th parliamentary election is set to be held on January 7, as per the schedule announced by Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal on November 15.
