The hearing on his complaint will be held on 14 December, he added.
The written complaint states, "Mahibul Hasan Chowdhury mentioned his mother's name as Hasina Mohiuddin in the affidavit and nomination paper, but in reality his mother's name is Shaheda Mohiuddin."
Sanjid said there is also a discrepancy between the current and permanent address of the AL candidate.
The nomination papers of both candidates have already been declared valid by the returning officer.
