The bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Khizir Ahmed Choudhury passed the orders following a writ petition filed by 45 headmasters, including Reaz Parvez, president of Bangladesh Government Primary Headmasters Association or BGPHA. “Headmasters as second-class employees were getting salary under 11th and 12th pay scales. But other second-class officials were getting salary under the 10th grade,” petitioners’ lawyer Advocate Salahuddin Dolon told bdnews24.com. Challenging the decision on fixing salary under the 11th and 12th national pay scales, forty-five headmasters filed a writ petition in the HC on March 4 last year. The following day, in response to the petition, the court issued a rule asking why fixing their salary under the 11th and 12th pay scales should not be declared illegal.
