SC scraps orders to reinstate 85 sacked UZ poll officers

The Appellate Division has scrapped an order of the administrative appeal tribunal on reinstatement of 85 upazila election officers who were sacked  by the last caretaker regime.

 

A six-member Appellate Division led by the chief justice Hasan Foez Siddique gave the order on Thursday granting an appeal filed by the state.

 

On August 28, the top court concluded the hearing on the appeal and set Thursday to deliver its verdict.

 

In 2010, the administrative appeal tribunal granted the appeal of the 85 sacked officials and gave a verdict for reinstating them. 

 

After that, the state filed four separate leave to appeals.

 

The next day, the chamber judge stayed the administrative appeal tribunal’s verdict and the appeal to the Appellate Division for regular hearing.

 

The state then file separate appeals and hearing was concluded on August 28 this year.
