There is no longer any legal obstacle to proceeding with the appointment of new dealers of the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) in the Pabna region, following a Supreme Court order staying a previous High Court directive that had suspended the recruitment process.
Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice Md Rezaul Hoque on Wednesday stayed the operation of the High Court order, clearing the way for further steps to appoint new dealers under a TCB notice issued on 6 August.
A writ petition was filed challenging the validity of Clause 3 of Section 6(Zha) of the TCB Dealer Appointment and Management Policy, 2025.
In response to the petition, the High Court Division on 19 August stayed the operation of the TCB notice issued on 6 August, which invited applications for the appointment of new dealers in the Pabna region.
Following the chamber judge’s decision to stay the High Court order, there is no longer any legal impediment to proceeding with the recruitment process under the notice.
Barrister Mohammad Ruhul Kudduse Kajal, Attorney General, represented the state before the Appellate Division. Deputy Attorney General Barrister Abdullah Al Mahmud Masud assisted him.
