The bench of Justice Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil fixed the date.
Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon, the petitioner’s lawyer, said the taking of oath by MPs went against the constitution as they were sworn in before the expiry of the 10th parliament.
The five-year tenure of the last parliament was supposed to end on January 28.
But Attorney General Mahbubey Alam argued that the MPs started performing their duties from January 30. Although the swearing in took place earlier, it did not violate the law.
Lawyer Tawhidul Islam filed a writ petition on January 14 challenging the legality of the swearing in. But the court rejected the petition on January 17 saying it was not moved properly.
Later, he moved the HC again. At that time, Khokon said they had filed a ‘writ of co-warrant’ that also sought a rule seeking explanation as to how the MPs of 11th parliament are holding on to their posts as they did not take oath as ‘per the Constitution’.
