The Supreme Court yesterday fixed December 4 for passing an order on the petitions filed against a High Court verdict that declared illegal the appointment of the national university's (NU) 807 officials and employees. A six-member bench of the appellate division bench of SC yesterday held hearing on the petitions and fixed the date. The HC on August 23 this year ruled that appointment of the 807 staff recruited between November 17, 2003 and August 31, 2004 was illegal. Acting upon the HC verdict, the NU syndicate on September 10 called an emergency meeting and decided to sack 821 staff who were recruited through a fake advertisement during the tenure of the BNP-led government.
