Permission has been granted to file a review petition to reinstate the caretaker government system in Bangladesh. Chamber Justice Md. Ashfaqul Islam granted permission to five prominent citizens to file this petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The thirteenth amendment, which incorporated the caretaker government system into the Constitution, was passed by the National Parliament in 1996. This amendment was challenged in 1998 by advocates including M. Salim Ullah, and the High Court initially dismissed the petition in 2004, declaring the caretaker government system valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The legality of this amendment led to further appeals, and in 2011, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court ultimately declared the thirteenth amendment invalid. Following this decision, the fifteenth amendment was passed in 2011, which abolished the caretaker government system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recent permission for a review petition by figures including Badiul Alam Majumdar, secretary of Citizens for Good Governance (Sujon), along with Tofael Ahmed, M. Hafiz Uddin Khan, Jobairul Haq Bhuiyan, and Zahra Rahman, has reopened the debate on this critical aspect of Bangladesh’s electoral framework. This move could potentially lead to significant changes in the electoral process and has sparked extensive discussion in political and legal circles about the implications for the country\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
