The High Court has suspended the recruitment of 3,500 people to the posts of Junior Instructor (Tech) or Physical Education Instructor (10th grade) in various polytechnic institutes and technical schools and colleges under the Technical Education Board. At the same time, the court has issued a rule on their recruitment.

A High Court bench headed by Justice Akram Hossain Chowdhury gave this order on Monday (January 27).

Barrister Kaiser Kamal heard the writ petition in the court. He was assisted by Advocate Maqsud Ullah.

Barrister Kaiser Kamal said that they were supposed to join the service on January 29. Due to the High Court's suspension order, these 3,500 people are not able to join the service.

Earlier, a writ petition was filed in the High Court seeking cancellation of the appointments of 3,500 people to the posts of Junior Instructor (Tech) or Physical Education Instructor (Grade 10) in various polytechnic institutes and technical schools and colleges across the country. The writ was filed by 18 candidates who were denied appointments. The writ petition alleged fraud in the recruitment examination and sale of questions by the Abed Ali group.
