A High Court division bench, comprising justices Sashanka Shekhar Sarkar and AKM Rabiul Hassan, also asked the EC to execute the order within 30 working days.
Senior advocates Nitai Roy Chowdhury and AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon moved a writ petition filed by the party in this regard.
BLP filed an application with the EC on October 10, 2022 for registration. But, the EC on July 24, 2023 rejected their application.

After the hearing, the High Court issued a rule on November 5, 2023 and came up with the judgment, declaring the rule absolute.
