Madrasa Students in DU Admission
SC stays HC order till March
The Supreme Court stayed till March 10 next year the High Court order that had halted the effectiveness of preconditions issued by the Dhaka University (DU) authorities restricting the Madrasa students to appear for its 'Kha' and 'Gha' units' admission tests.
Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division SK Sinha passed the order on Wednesday following a petition filed by the DU authorities for staying the HC order.
The judge also directed the authorities to file a leave to appeal petition with the SC against the HC order and fixed March 10 next year for its hearing at the regular bench.
Advocate AFM Mesbahuddin, lawyer for DU, told The Daily Star that there is no legal bar for his clients to continue the process of admission tests for Kha and Gha units.
The DU authorities on September 6 last year imposed some preconditions for the Madrasa students, who have not appeared in Bengali and English with 100 marks each at the HSC level, to sit for the 'Kha' and 'Gha' units' admission tests of the university.
Following a writ petition jointly filed by three Madrasa students, the HC on November 11 this year stayed the DU authorities' decision and also issued a rule upon it to explain why the decision should not be declared illegal.
