Up Madrasa Law

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.

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.
