The Supreme Court of Bangladesh has scrapped most quotas for government jobs in the wake of student-led protests that have resulted in over 130 fatalities, as per local media reports. The court's Appellate Division overturned a lower court order that had reinstated these quotas just last month. Attorney General AM Amin Uddin told AFP news agency, "The Supreme Court has said the High Court verdict was illegal."
