Download PDF A legal notice was served yesterday on President Iajuddin Ahmed to refrain from performing as chief adviser to the caretaker government, the post he assumed on Sunday night in addition to his presidential responsibilities.
Challenging his action, Advocate Manzill Morshid said the president has violated the constitution by assuming himself as chief adviser without exhausting the options laid down in article 58 C (3, 4 and 5).
He urged the president to appoint a chief adviser to the non-party caretaker government in accordance with the constitution within three days, failing which he will move the High Court to protect the integrity of the constitution and rule of law.
He termed Iajuddin’s taking over the office of chief adviser unlawful and in disregard to the constitution.
Soon after president’s oath as chief adviser on Sunday night, legal experts including Dr Kamal Hossain, Barrister Amir ul Islam and Barrister Rafique ul Huq accused him of violating the constitution.
