The SCBA election was held on March 6 and 7 where a total of 5,319 lawyers cast their votes.
On March 8, the counting of ballots of the election was halted a day after voting concluded, due to violent disruptions and turmoil among the lawyers vying for positions. At least seven people were injured in the clash.

In the case, 20 people including advocate Nahid Sultana Juthi, independent candidate for the post of secretary in the Supreme Court bar election, barrister Ruhul Quddus Kajal, secretary candidate of BNP-Jamaat supported blue panel, were accused.
