Bangladesh Local Councils and Municipal Committees Service (Retirement) Rules, 1968
Rules 3, 8(7), 14(1) and 2(b)-
Ordering retirement from service after the petitioners rendered 12 years’ uninterrupted service. Admittedly, the appointment of the petitioner was made by the then Chairman of the Pourashava, a competent authority. Since they joined services on the basis thereof and rendered 12 years of uninterrupted service, their appointment cannot now be said to be made irregularly. If any irregularity was there initially, it has been cured. After they were confirmed following probation of 2 years under the rules, their services cannot be terminated arbitrarily in the manner as done by the impugned letter. The grounds of redundancy on which the petitioners have been retired are a colourable exercise of power. The respondent is therefore directed to reinstate the petitioners and pay them their arrears of salaries as claimed.
