Cancellation of the freedom fighter quota in first and second-class government jobs as illegal was upheld by the Appellate Division.

The Appellate Bench headed by Chief Justice Obaidul Hasan upheld the High Court's verdict on Thursday (4 July).

"The High Court rule will be in effect for now. You can file a regular appeal after receiving the full verdict," the Appellate bench told the state side.

At the same time, Chief Justice Obaidul Hasan also raised the question whether the verdict of the Supreme Court can be changed by protesting on the streets.

Lawyer Motahar Hossain Saju said the judgment of the High Court will be upheld until the next hearing in the Appellate Division.
