Nearly 10, 000 candidates might be included under the 367 writs.”Deputy attorney general Amatul Karim led the hearing for the state.On April 9 in 2012, the government had published merit list of 42, 611 candidates for the post of assistant teacher of the registered primary schools.In the first phase, some 8,000 candidates out of the merit list had been appointed from the panel and later several thousand more candidates were appointed.The rest were supposed to be appointed by five years but it later was closed after the government nationalized all registered primary schools.Later, the panel-based selected candidates filed separate writ petitions with the HC at different times.The HC issued a rule asking for an explanation as to why they will be appointed after hearing on the petitions.The HC delivered the judgment today (Thursday) as it got a report on the 17,000 vacant posts of registered primary schools issued by the government after the hearing on the writ petitions had been held for a week.
