The High Court on Monday fixed 22 February for hearing the rule issued challenging the legality of Mohammad Shahid Islam Papul s MP post.
Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore and justice Mohammad Ullah fixed the date after hearing the petition, reports UNB.
Lawyer Sheikh Ausafur Rahman Bulu stood for the petitioner.
Shahid is currently in Kuwait jail. On 16 August last year, Abul Foyej Bhuiya, a candidate (independent) of the 11th parliamentary election, filed a writ petition challenging the legality of MP Shahid s post as he has been accused of providing fake documents and submitting fake education certificates.
