The High Court on Tuesday issued a rule upon the concerned bodies of the government to explain in 10 days as to why the decision on stopping migration process in admitting students at public universities should not be declared illegal.
It also asked the authorities to explain as to they should not be directed to admit the students who had been enrolled under cluster system according to the merit list.
The High Court bench of Justice Md Khasruzzaman and Justice A K M Rabiul Hassan passed the order after hearing a writ petition filed by three admission seekers.
The HC at the same time stayed the decision on stopping migration process in the case of the writ petitioners.
Barrister Badruddoza Badol, assisted by Barrister Kazi Zawad Badruddoza, appeared in the court hearing on behalf of the writ petitioners, while Deputy Attorney General Bepul Bagar represented the state.
Rubel Miah, Saqeb Amed and Alvee filed the writ petition on December 26 this year challenging the authorities’ decision to stop migration process in admitting students in the public universities those enrolled students under cluster admission test.
Education Secretary, vice chancellors of the universities those enrolled students under cluster admission test process and others were made respondents in the petition.
Barrister Badruddoza said, “The admission seekers fell into a trouble as the authorities have stopped the migration process.
Migration process was continued till the fifth merit lists, however, the authorities have stopped it from the sixth merit list. As a result, the students who scored more than 55 marks are not able to take advantage of migration process.
As a student was getting chances in more than one university, now the students have fallen into trouble as migration has been stopped. They will not be able to get admission in the upper tier universities even though the seats are vacant.”
