(প্রশ্নটি বাংলায় (রীট)ঃ মিঃ ফেনীস্থ ফাজিলপুর উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়ের একজন শিক্ষক। তিনি তাহার বিরুদ্ধে অসদাচরণের অভিযোগে বিদ্যালয়ের ব্যবস্থাপনা কমিটি কর্তৃক প্রথমে সাময়িক বরখাস্ত হন এবং পরে চাকুরী হতে স্থায়ীভাবে বরখাস্ত হন। শিক্ষা বোর্ড উক্ত বরখাস্তের আদেশ অনুমোদন করেন নাই এবং তাহাকে অসদাচরণের অভিযোগে দোষী নয় মর্মে সিদ্ধান্ত গ্রহণ করেন। শিক্ষা বোর্ডের এইরূপ সিদ্ধান্ত থাকা সত্ত্বেও, বিদ্যালয়ের ব্যবস্থাপনা কমিটি তাহাকে তাহার কাজে পুনর্বহাল করেন নাই, যদিও সে এই ব্যাপারে বেশ কিছু আবেদন-নিবেদন দাখিল করেন। যদিও তিনি শিক্ষা বোর্ডের কাছে প্রতিকারের জন্য ধর্না দেন, কিন্তু সেখান থেকে কোন সাড়া পাওয়া যায় নাই। ফাজিলপুর বিদ্যালয়টি একটি বেসরকারী বিদ্যালয়, কিন্তু উহার শিক্ষকগণ সরকারী এম.পি.ও সুবিধা ভোগ করেন।

এই পরিস্থিতিতে X আপনাকে হাইকোর্ট বিভাগে রীট পিটিশন দায়ের কর জন্য অনুরোধ করিল। আপনি কি করিবেন? আপনি কি রীট পিটিশন দাখিল কর সঠিক মনে করেন, অথবা করেন না? আপনার মতামত দিন। (১৩ই জুন ২০০৮, ৯ই আগষ্ট ২০১৪).
