The High Court on Tuesday issued a rule questioning the legality of the National Sports Council’s (NSC) decisions to remove Faruque Ahmed from the post of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president and appoint Aminul Islam Bulbul as his successor.

In the rule, the court asked the authorities concerned of the government and NSC to explain why the NSC’s decisions should not be declared illegal.

The HC, however, issued an order of status quo on the functioning of BCB.

The HC order means that the current BCB led by Bulbul as its president will continue running functions, Additional Attorney General Aneek R Haque and BCB’s lawyer Barrister Mahin M Rahman told the media.

The HC bench of Justice Razik-Al-Jalil and Justice Shathika Hossain issued the order and rule following a writ petition filed by former BCB president Faruque Ahmed challenging the NSC’s decisions to remove him from the post of BCB president and appoint Bulbul as his successor.

Earlier on June 2, another HC bench refused to pass any order on the same writ petition and dropped the petition from its cause list after hearing arguments from the parties concerned.
