Md.Imrul Haydar appearing along with the learned Advocate Mr.Md. Humayun Kabir for the petitioner. </p><p>Mr.Md. Humayun Kabir, the learned Advocate further submits that the respondents have acted illegally in failing to appreciate the</p><p>Government Policy to fulfill some posts from amongst the Special</p><p>Quota as physically handicapped. Therefore, the petitioner being qualified candidate in the written examination and being a physical handicraft candidate has every legal right to obtain the appointment as the Headmaster of the Primary School in his native Upazila under</p><p>Satkhira District. </p><p>The learned Advocate further submits that the respondents have committed an illegality in failing to appreciate the spirit of Recruitment Rules as specified in Recruitment Rules in</p><p>Column No. (4) of the said “ Appointment Circular” dated 13.01.2012 4</p><p> and the Recruitment Rules i.e. Special Quota as specified in Column</p><p>No. (11) of the Application Form for appointment in the post of</p><p>Headmaster of the Government Primary Schools”.
