According to a letter signed by EC Deputy Secretary Mahbub Alam Shah, the president and general secretary of the political party, registered with the Election Commission, submitted names of the committee separately, which was the reason behind the rejection.
As the nominations were canceled, the candidates appealed to the High Court against that decision. The High Court passed an order in favor of the candidates.
The EC, however, made an appeal against the order and its judgment was delivered today.
