Jumbangla Desk: The Supreme Court will hear the review petition of 1114 people against the judgment of the Appellate Division by upholding the decision to cancel the first oral examination in the 27th BCS. The review application will be heard on December 4.

Thursday (November 7) Chief Justice Dr. A four-judge appellate bench headed by Syed Refat Ahmed passed the order.

Senior lawyer Barrister Salahuddin Dolan, Barrister Ruhul Quddus Kajal heard the petition in court.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment declaring the cancellation of the first oral examination of the 27th BCS in 2010 valid.

At that time, a six-judge bench of the Appellate Division, led by Chief Justice Mohammad Fazlul Karim, gave the verdict.

During the Emergency in 2007, the government canceled the results of the first oral examination of the 27th BCS examination due to allegations of irregularities and corruption. The passers filed a writ petition challenging the validity of the annulment of the results of the oral examination. On July 3, 2008, Justice Md. Abdur Rashid and Justice Md. A bench consisting of Ashfaqul Islam upheld the government's decision. Against that judgment the concerned writ petitioners filed leave to appeal in the Appellate Division.

The bench led by Justice Miftah Uddin Chowdhury gave the verdict on November 11 last year. The government filed three leave-to-appeal petitions against the verdict. On the same day, the Appellate Division also disposed of these applications with some observations.
