The Supreme Court of India stayed the Allahabad High Court's verdict on the closure of madrasas in Uttar Pradesh.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud gave the verdict on Friday. 17 lakh madrasah students of 16 thousand madrasas of that state got relief from this decision of the Supreme Court.
According to Indian media NDTV, the Supreme Court's bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra said on Friday that the Allahabad High Court's order that the goals and objectives of the Madrasa Board violate the secular ideals of the Constitution is prima facie incorrect.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud also said that it is wrong to say that madrasas do not provide quality education. Again it cannot be said that Madrasa is not universal and extensive. Besides, the order given by the Allahabad High Court to close the madrasas is a discriminatory judgment.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of India has sent a notice to the central government and the Uttar Pradesh government to answer why such steps were taken to close the madrasas. The hearing in this regard has been fixed in the second week of July. Until then, the Allahabad High Court verdict will remain in force and madrasas will be able to carry out their normal activities.
