SC stays operation of HC ruling for 6 weeks
Wednesday, 24 March 2010
The Supreme Court (SU) Tuesday stayed for six weeks the operation of the High Court (HC) judgment on 27th BCS examination results, reports UNB.
Passing the interim order upon a petition moved by Attorney General Mahbubey Alam, the chamber court set April 25 for hearing on the application for leave to appeal against the impugned HC judgment in the Appellate Division bench.
On November 11 last year, the HC directed the government to issue within sixty days the appointment letters to 197 candidates, who qualified through the first viva-voce of the 27th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examination conducted by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
The HC had also asked the PSC to provide the petitioners with seniority as per the merit list.
The HC orders came following three writ petitions filed by the aggrieved candidates.
The immediate-past military-backed caretaker government cancelled the first viva- voce results and held a fresh interview in response to widespread allegations of nepotism and corruption in the recruitment process.
Advocate Abdul Matin Khasru stood for the deprived candidates.
