Ohidul Islam and others v. The Government of Bangladesh and others

Extracted from the Wikipedia article 2024 Bangladesh quota reform case.

Ohidul Islam and Others v. The Government of Bangladesh and Others was a case brought before the High Court Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. The writ petition was filed three years after the Government of Bangladesh, amid the 2018 quota reform movement, issued a circular setting aside the existing quotas for descendants of 1971 Liberation Warveterans. This writ petition challenged the constitutionality of the circular. Proceedings in this case became a significant factor in shaping the developments leading to the 2024 quota reform movement.
