SC issues status quo over quota in govt jobs

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) today issued a status quo on the High Court judgment that declared illegal a 2018 government circular abolishing the 30 percent quota system for the Freedom Fighters children in the ninth to 13th grades of government jobs.
The apex court short order asked all the parties to maintain the status quo over the matter with some observation and direction.
Explaining the order to the newsmen, Attorney General AM Amin Uddin said the matter would remain till August 7 as it is. The quota system would not be applied to the circulars issued based on the government order issued in 2018 that abolished the 30 percent quota system for the Freedom Fighters children in the ninth to 13th grades of government jobs, he said.
