The High Court yesterday questioned whether the appointment of a high official at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDRB) was legal.
The court issued the ruling after hearing a writ petition filed by two ICDDRB doctors challenging the legality of Human Resource Director Christin Denhi’s appointment.
The petitioners’ lawyer M Monjur Alam said Denhi has been holding the post of HR director since August 28 last year, at the age of 59, when the hospital’s rules states that the age limit for the appointment in the post is 18 to 58 years.
