Staff Reporter :
The High Court on Sunday rejected a writ petition that was filed challenging the legality of the process for reappointing Engineer Taqsem A Khan in the post of managing director of Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Wasa).
The High Court bench of Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Md Khairul Alam passed the rejection order saying that the petition was not placed properly.
Barrister Ruhul Quddus Kazal and advocate Md Tanvir Ahmed took part in the hearing on behalf of the writ petitioner.
Later Md Tanvir Ahmed said that they prayed to the HC bench to reject the petition considering that it was not presented before the bench as it was not convincing for issuing any rule over the government decision.

Engineer Khandker Manjur Morshed, a resident of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), submitted the petition praying to the HC to stay the proposal for extending the tenure of Taqsem A Khan as Wasa MD for three more years.
Meanwhile, the government on October 1 this year approved the proposal for reappointing engineer Taqsem A Khan to the post of managing director of Dhaka Wasa.
Then the writ petitioner filed another supplementary petition with the main petition. The court then held hearing on both the petition and fixed Sunday for passing order on them.
The petitioner prayed to the court to issue a rule upon the respondents to explain as to why the decision taken by Dhaka Wasa board on September 19 this year so far as relates the proposal for reappointing Engineer Taqsem A Khan as Managing Director of Dhaka Wasa sent to the ministry of local government should not be declared illegal.
He also prayed to the court to stay the effectiveness of the decision taken by Dhaka Wasa board on September 19 this year so far as relates the proposal for reappointing engineer Taqsem A Khan as managing director of Dhaka Wasa.
