The Appellate Division on Monday temporarily halted the High Court’s decision that had annulled the appointment process of 6,531 candidates as assistant teachers in government primary schools across Dhaka and Chattogram divisions.
A three-member bench of the Appellate Division, led by Justice Md Ashfaqul Islam, passed the order following a leave to appeal petition filed by the state against the HC verdict.
On February 6, the HC bench consisting of Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Sikder Mahmudur Raji, cancelled the process of appointing 6,531 candidates as assistant teachers of government primary schools.
Challenging the HC order, the Directorate of Primary Education filed an appeal petition on February 18.
The Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division fixed March 2 for hearing the petition.
On June 14 in 2023, the government issued a circular for recruiting assistant teachers for the primary schools in both divisions.
On October 31 last year, the government published the final results of the recruitment test declaring 6, 531 candidates as successful.
