The court ordered them to restrain from acting upon the impugned constitution -- meaning uncertainty of election to BCB that already expired its 4-year term on Thursday.

The order came upon a writ filed by three directors of BCB challenging the legality of its constitution-2003.

They submitted that the authorities had purportedly replaced the constitution under which they were elected in 2001. The impugned constitution was imposed with a malafide motive of controlling by a vested quarter the cricket of Bangladesh which is gaining attraction in the world cricket.

Earlier, on March 1 the Supreme Court stayed the High Court order reinstating the directors of BCB and had ordered the authorities to hold election at the earliest.
