HC refuses to hear writ for raising age limit in BCS

The High Court (HC) refused to hear a writ petition filed seeking a direction to increase the age limit for general students in terms of entry into government jobs through Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) to 32 years.

The HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order on Monday.

Omitting the writ from the cause list, the court said, “Raising and reducing age limit for entry into government jobs is the purview of the government.”

Bijit Shikdar among five students whose ages are now above 30 years filed the writ petition.
