The High Court cleared the way for GM Quader to perform his duties as Jatiya Party Chairman.

A single HC bench of Justice Muhammad Abdul Hafiz passed the order on Sunday.

On January 19, the HC stayed the lower court embargo on GM Quader for eight weeks. The court, at the same time, issued a rule asking why Dhaka court's order would not be cancelled.

Jatiya Party's suspended leader and former lawmaker Ziaul Haque Mridha filed the case against GM Quader on October 4, last year.

On November 16, a Dhaka court upheld an order that had asked GM Quader to refrain from party activities.

The court of Dhaka First Joint District Judge Masudul Haque passed the order, scrapping a plea of Quader, challenging the earlier order.

On November 29, the High Court cleared the way for GM Quader to perform his duties as Jatiya Party Chairman by staying the lower court embargo following a revision petition.

On November 30, Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division M Enayetur Rahim stayed the High Court order allowing Jatiya Party Chairman GM Quader to perform the duties of his post.

According to the case statement, the party's founder HM Ershad died on September 14, 2019.

Quader declared himself as chairman of the party through forgery at a council on December 28, 2019 when a writ petition case was pending at the High Court.
