HC issues rule over appointment of Fouzia as Viqarunnisa principal
DHAKA, Sept 17, 2019 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today issued a rule
asking authorities concerned to explain in four weeks as to why it shall not
declare illegal the appointment of Professor Fouzia Rezwana as the principal
of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College (VNSC).
The court however, removed legal bar for Prof Fouzia to join his new
office as it did not impose any stay on the gazette, appointing her as the
new principal of VNSC.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice M Enayetur Rahim and
Justice Md Khairul Alam passed the order after holding hearing on a writ
petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer Eunus Ali Akond challenging the
legality of the appointment of Fouzia.
Advocate Akond on Monday filed the writ and the High Court on the same
day had asked Prof Fouzia not to join her new office till hearing on the
writ.
The petitioner took part in the hearing for his plea himself, while
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam stood for the state.
