High Court cancels recruitment of 6,531 primary school teachers

Today, the High Court (HC) canceled the hiring of 6,531 applicants to serve as assistant teachers in the Chattogram and Dhaka divisions of government primary schools.
The ruling, which declared an earlier regulation issued in this regard absolute, was delivered by a High Court division bench consisting of Justices Fatema Najib and Sikder Mahmudur Razi.

“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 accused officials of utilizing a quota system in the third phase of hiring candidates from the Dhaka and Chattogram divisions, and they filed a writ contesting the decision to disclose lists of successful candidates. Following a hearing, the High Court imposed the rule and halted the hiring process for a period of six months.

The court issued its ruling today, stating that the norm is unchangeable.
