Reinstate 140 doctors: SC
The Supreme Court yesterday directed the authorities concerned to reinstate 140 doctors of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), whose appointment process was declared illegal by the High Court.
The apex court, however, said the tenure in which the doctors, who were appointed in 2006, were not in service will be considered as their leave without benefit.
A five-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha delivered the verdict in response to five appeals and two leave to appeal petitions filed by the doctors challenging the HC verdict.
In 2010, the HC had ruled that the appointment process of these doctors were illegal because of some anomalies.
On September 4 last year, the SC allowed the doctors to move appeals against the HC verdict.
After concluding hearing on the appeals, the apex court on May 17 fixed yesterday for delivering the verdict.
