rule nisi on NU VC
Staff Correspondent
A High Court division bench yesterday issued a rule nisi asking National University Vice-chancellor Prof Aftab Ahmed and others to explain why all appointments to the university between November 17, 2003 and August 31, 2004 should not be cancelled and declared unlawful.The court also ordered them to explain why a direction should not be issued cancelling all the appointments and declaring those to have been made without lawful authority, without proper advertisements and quota reservation in line with the existing rules. Md Fazle Rabbi Miah, a Supreme Court advocate and former NU senate member, filed a writ petition stating that the authorities made at least 348 appointments to the positions of professor, superintending and executive engineers, assistant registrar and assistant college inspectors allowing them undue favour in violation of the existing rules. The High Court bench of justices MA Motin and Moinul Islam Chowdhury ordered the respondents, including the university's former registrar Firoze Ahmed Akhtar and the education secretary who represents the chancellor, to respond to the rule in three weeks.
