The Newspaper Owners’ Association of Bangladesh (NOAB) will file a plea with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court immediately seeking stay on the operation of the gazette notification of the 9th wage board award for journalists.
Earlier on October 22 this year the Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Md Ashraful Kamal rejected the petition of NOAB seeking stay on the operation of the gazette notification of the 9th wage board
award, said Advocate Yousuf Ali who appeared in the court on behalf of the Newspaper Owners’ Association.
Now the NOAB will appear in the Appellate Division against the High Court’s rejection order and it may happen on Sunday (today), added the lawyer.
Earlier on October 15, the same High Court Bench issued a rule upon the concerned bodies of the government to explain in four weeks as to why the published gazette notification of the 9th wage board award for the journalists and employees of newspapers and news agencies should not be declared illegal.
Newspaper Owners’ Association of Bangladesh filed the petition on October 14 challenging the legality of the notification of the wage board award.
Information Secretary, Labour Secretary and Chairman of the 9th wage board have to comply with the rule within four weeks.
Advocate Yousuf Ali then said “There is no bar to implement the recommendations of the 9th wage board award as the High Court issued a rule only.”
After a long legal battle, the Information Ministry has published the gazette on the “Ninth Wage Board Award” for journalists and employees of newspapers and news agencies, dated September 12, on its website. The gazette came into effect on the date of publication.
