Madrassas in Uttar Pradesh can function, Supreme Court sets aside Allahabad High Court order scrapping madrassa law

The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce on November 5 the verdict on pleas challenging the Allahabad High Court judgement, which declared the 2004 Uttar Pradesh law on madrasas as unconstitutional.

The decision is being taken as part of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's plan to link madrasa-going children with mainstream education.

A Madrasa teacher in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly sexually abusing a 13-year-old student following a complaint by the boy's father, police said.

A five-year-old boy was beaten to death by three students at a madrasa in Delhi's Dayalpur, police said.

BSP chief Mayawati targeted the central and Uttar Pradesh governments over the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, saying their "forceful interference" in matters of mosques, madrasas, and Waqf was against the country's Constitution.

The Chairperson of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), Priyank Kanoongo, has expressed concern about children's rights, particularly of non-Muslim children in madrasas.

The Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind has demanded withdrawal of UP government's recent order directing that all students in unrecognised madrasas and non-Muslim students studying in government-aided madrasas should be shifted to government schools.

Two students of a local madrasa died under mysterious circumstances in the Khajuria police station area of the district on Wednesday, police said.

In the wake of the arrest of an alleged terrorist affiliated with the Indian Mujahideen in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa, BJP MLA Usha Thakur has reignited the debate over the role and regulation of madrasas in the state.

The Delhi High Court has ordered the vacation of a mosque and madrasa, located in Sarai Kale Khan's Hazrat Nizamuddin area, paving the way for their demolition by civic authorities.

The principal of a government school was thrashed by a group of people when he went to survey a madrasa in Ahmedabad on Saturday, police said.

In a big relief to about 17 lakh madrasa students in Uttar Pradesh, the Supreme Court on Friday paused an Allahabad High Court order scrapping the UP Madrasa Act.

The Allahabad High Court has struck down the UP Board of Madarsa Education Act 2004, declaring it "unconstitutional" for violating the principle of secularism.

A 16-year-old student was at the receiving end of brutal corporal punishment not just from his teacher but also from his peers at a Madrasa in Maharashtra. His crime - alleged theft of a Rs 100 watch.
