Badi, who secured a six-month bail on Wednesday, can represent Cox’s Bazar-4 until his appeal is resolved, said Election Commissioner Md Abdul Mubarak. Khurshid Alam, lawyer for the ACC that started the case against Badi, then said Badi is no more an MP even though he had secured bail. “Badi is no longer an MP according to Section 66 of the Constitution… because his fine was stayed, not his sentence. Badi will lose membership if his three-year prison term is upheld in his appeal verdict, he said. “In India, an MP loses membership until a sentence against him or her is scrapped.
