'Violates secularism': High Court nixes Uttar Pradesh madrassa Act
Friday, 22 March 2024 Allahabad high court on Friday struck down as “unconstitutional” the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madrassa Education Act, 2004, on the ground that it violated the principles of secularism with its “scheme and purpose” of “only promoting and providing education of Islam”, and allows degrees to be awarded in contravention of the UGC Act. Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Subhash Vidyarthi’s order upholding petitioner Anshuman Singh Rathore’s contention that the legislation was “ultra vires” — Latin for beyond the powers — directly impacts 15.75 lakh students enrolled in 13,329 recognised madrassas in UP.
Competitive exam aspirants gathered at the UP Public Service Commission headquarters in Prayagraj to protest against multi-shift scheduling for PCS, RO, and ARO exams, demanding a single-day, single-shift exam for fair assessment. The protest escalated, leading to clashes and detentions, with police intervening to maintain order. Political leaders like Akhilesh Yadav have shown support, accusing the government of unfair recruitment practices. Aspirants vow to continue protests, highlighting growing dissatisfaction with exam policies in India.
