The HC bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Debasish Roy Chowdhury fixed the date on Thursday after concluding hearings on the petitions on Wednesday.

One of the writ petitions was filed by Mofazzal Hossain, a freedom fighter from Narayanpara, Naogaon.

On 19 October, the HC bench led by Justice Farah Mahbub issued a rule asking the government to explain why the Constitution (15th Amendment) Act, 2011, should not be declared unconstitutional. It also questioned why actions taken under the amendment should not be invalidated.
