Bangladesh Bank vs Mrs Rana Awan and others. 46 DLR 678.

Article 84 –

In this Order there is no provision for creating any central Board of Directors, but there shall be a ‘Board of Directors’ and it is this Board which has been vested with powers required to be exercised by the Bank (Staff) Regulations.

It therefore, cannot be said that the Board of Directors which had taken the decision for the appellant’s termination was not properly constituted. Regulation 2, in its proviso, requires Government’s approval to any action in respect of officers mentioned in sub-regulation (iii). These officers are senior officers of the Bank whose salaries and allowances are determined by, or require the approval of, the government. There is no evidence that the appellant fell within this class of officers.
