The High Court Division of the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education’s (DSHE) decision to cancel the admissions of 169 students of Class 1 at Viqarunnisa Noon School and College.
A bench of the apex court comprising Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil delivered the judgement after hearings on two separate writ petitions, said Deputy Attorney General Kazi Mynul Hassan.
Per the admission policy, students born before January 1, 2017 are disqualified for admission to Viqarunnisa Noon School and College. The DSHE found that 169 students, born in 2015 and 2016, were admitted in violation of this policy.
The High Court bench also ordered Viqarunnisa authorities to fill the vacant posts from the waiting list.
