The High Court (HC) issued a rule asking the government on Monday to explain why the eight sections of the Admission Policy 2015 for higher secondary level would not be declared without lawful, report agencies.
The court has instructed the education secretary to come up with explanations by four weeks.
An HC bench comprising Justice Naima Haider and Mostafa Zaman issued the rule upon hearing a public interest litigation filed by a Supreme Court lawyer.
On June 10, Yunus Ali Akond, a Supreme Court lawyer, filed a writ petition challenging the legality of eight sections-- 2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.2, 5.3, 9.1, 9.3 of Admission Policy-2015 which are contradictory to articles 7, 19, 26, 27, 28, 31 and 40 of the Constitution.
Earlier, on June 8, the HC stayed for six months the admission policy of the Education Ministry that asked colleges to enroll students of higher secondary level on the basis of SSC results, allowing Notre Dame, Holy Cross and St Joseph colleges to hold tests for admission.
The court also issued a rule asking the authorities concerned to explain why the admission policy of the Education Ministry would not be declared illegal.
