HC summons teachers

The High Court (HC) yesterday, over a newspaper report, summoned the headmaster and a teacher of a high school at Shaturia in Manikganj to appear before it on March 22 on charge of torturing students for not wearing school uniforms.
Dhullya BM High School headmaster Md Shahjahan and sports teacher Md Salahuddin will have to appear before the court to explain their conducts on the issue.
The HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik and Justice Jahangir Hossain Selim also issued a rule upon the superintendent of police and education officer of Manikganj to explain why criminal proceedings should not be brought against the headmaster and the teacher for torturing the students.
The court came up with the order and rule in a suo moto move following a report published on the Bangla daily Prothom Alo on March 15 with the headline “Shikshaker prohare chhatro hashpatale” (student assaulted by teacher in hospital).
