The final voter roll for the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) and Hall Sangsad Elections 2025 will not be uploaded on the university’s website, following a High Court order issued in response to a writ petition.
A notification signed by the Chief Returning Officer Professor Mohammad Jasim Uddin on Sunday said the decision to suspend the public display of the list takes immediate effect. However, copies of the roll will remain available to hall offices and authorities concerned.
The move came after five students filed a writ petition requesting restrictions on the disclosure of voters’ personal details. The petitioners also asked the court to bar the publication of female students’ photographs if they wish to keep them private.
The writ was filed by Sabikunnahar Tamanna, Md Zakaria, Fatema, Tasnim Jhuma and Redwan Mondal Rifat. Advocate Faizullah Faiz stood for the petitioners during the hearing.
The Dhaka University vice-chancellor and the chief returning officer were made respondents in the case.
