Speaking to reporters after the hearing, Mahin M Rahman said the court clearly observed that it would not intervene in the BCB election under any circumstances.
The writ petition was filed by an individual named Mosharraf Hossain, who sought to halt the election process.
Meanwhile, a separate writ was filed yesterday (16 May), challenging the legality of the 11-member ad-hoc committee of the BCB led by former national team captain Tamim Iqbal.
The petition was submitted by 12 individuals, including several prominent figures in Bangladesh cricket such as Aminul Islam Bulbul, Faruk Ahmed and Khaled Masud Pilot.
