30pc freedom fighters quota reinstate in govt jobs

The High Court has ordered to reinstatement 30 percent quota for freedom fighters in government jobs.

On October 4, 2018, a circular was issued abolishing 10 percent quota for women, 30 percent for freedom fighters and 10 percent for district quota.

On December 6, 2021, the High Court issued a rule asking why the circular should not be declared illegal.

The order was passed on Wednesday (June 5) after hearing the rule. It has been said that the circular issued in 2018 is illegal.

Secretaries to the Cabinet Division, Liberation War Affairs Ministry, Public Administration Ministry, Public Service Commission Chairman and others concerned have been made respondents to the rule which is returnable in seven days.
