The High Court has postponed the publication of Dhaka University’s C Unit admission test results following a writ petition filed on Wednesday, alleging errors in the exam question paper.
A High Court bench consisting of Justice Fatema Nazib and Justice Sikder Mahmudur Razi issued the order and a corresponding rule after hearing the petition. Advocate Shishir Monir represented DU during the hearing.
The petition was filed by a candidate who claimed multiple mistakes in the question paper of the ‘C’ unit exam held on 8 February.
The student had earlier submitted an application to the university’s vice-chancellor, requesting a review and fair evaluation of the results.
However, after receiving no response, he approached the High Court, challenging the inaction of the university authorities.
The writ petition sought an explanation for the failure of the respondents to take action on the request to cancel the examination due to alleged errors.
Additionally, the petitioner urged the court to direct the university to resolve the issue by disposing of his application, filed on 20 February.
As part of the order, the High Court also issued a stay on further proceedings related to the admission test until the matter is resolved.
