The High Court (HC) today cancelled the process to recruit 6,531 candidates as assistant teachers at government primary schools
in Dhaka and Chattogram divisions.
A High Court division bench of Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Sikder
Mahmudur Razi pronounced the judgment, declaring absolute a rule issued
earlier in this regard.
“The High Court in its judgment asked authorities concerned to follow
Appellate Division’s latest verdict on quota and publish recruitment results
afresh,” said Deputy Attorney General Akhter Hossain Md Abdul Wahab.
Thirty candidates filed a writ challenging the decision to publish lists of
successful candidates, accusing authorities of following a quota system in
the recruitment of candidates from Dhaka and Chattogram divisions in the
third phase. The High Court, after holding a hearing on the matter, issued
the rule and stayed the recruitment process for six months.
The court today came up with the judgment, declaring absolute that rule.
