The Allahabad High Court on Friday ruled that the 2004 Uttar Pradesh Board of Madarsa Education Act is unconstitutional, Live Law reported.
The Act provided for madrasas in Uttar Pradesh to operate under the aegis of the state minority welfare department unlike other minority educational institutes that operate under the education department.
A division bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Subhash Vidyarthi directed the state government to accommodate students studying in Islamic schools in other educational institutions.
