The High Court on Monday asked the BUET vice chancellor to allow civil engineering student Imtiaz Hossen Rahim in his hall of residence.
The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology authorities cancelled Imtiaz鈥檚 permission as a resident student for organising a showdown of the Bangladesh Chhatra League leaders and supporters on the campus on March 29.
The court also asked the university authorities to explain why its decision to discontinue Imtiaz鈥檚 permission to stay in the residential hall would not be declared illegal.
The bench of Justice Md Khasruzzaman and Justice KM Zahid Sarwar passed the order staying the BUET decision cancelling his hall residence permission, responding to a petition filed by Imtiaz.
Earlier on April 1, the same High Court bench responding to the BCL leader鈥檚 writ petition, allowed all political organisations to run activities on the campus.
The court paved the way for student politics by granting a stay on the university鈥檚 October 11, 2019 decision banning the activities of all political organisations on the campus.
The BUET authorities banned all political activities following general students鈥� protests against the killing of its student Abrar Fahad by some BCL leaders at the university鈥檚 Sher-e-Bangla Hall on October 7, 2019.
The High Court also issued a rule asking the Secondary and Higher Education Division secretary, BUET vice chancellor and its registrar to explain why the decision banning activities of all political organisations on the campus would not be declared unconstitutional.
The BUET authorities expelled Imtiaz from its residential hall, facing demand from the protesting general students to expel him and some other students for resuming BCL activities on the campus.
