The High Court (HC) Sunday issued a rule upon the government and the Public Service Commission (PSC) to explain why publication of the 27th BCS examination results for the second time without following the quota for districts and freedom fighters' children should not be declared illegal, reports UNB.
A division bench, comprising Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain and Justice Quamrul Islam Siddiqui, passed the order following a writ petition.
The rule is made returnable in four weeks.
On September 13, the PSC published results for the second time cancelling the earlier results that evoked controversy over its transparency.
Abu Fazl M Tariq Khan along with 33 other unsuccessful candidates who came out successful in the first results filed the writ petition, challenging the legality of the second time results of the examination.
Barrister Shafique Ahmed appeared for the petitioners.
