The High Court has stayed the implementation of a decision by the Islamic Arabic University to dissolve the governing bodies and ad hoc committees of Fazil and Kamil madrasas under its jurisdiction.
The court also issued a rule asking the concerned authorities to explain why the decision should not be declared illegal.
A High Court bench comprising Justice Sikder Mahmudur Razi and Justice Fatema Anwar passed the order on Monday, following a hearing on a writ petition.
Lawyer Parvez Hossain appeared for the petitioner.
The Islamic Arabic University issued an office order on 19 October, dissolving the governing bodies and ad hoc committees of Fazil and Kamil madrasas affiliated with the university.
According to the order, the decision was taken in accordance with a resolution adopted at the university’s 43rd Syndicate meeting on 15 October.
