Why Manarat's trustee board reform not illegal: HC

The High Court has issued a rule asking the authorities as to why the action to reconstitute the Board of Trustees of Manarat international University should not be declared illegal.

The HC bench of Justice Zafar Ahmed and Justice Md Akhtaruzzaman issued the rule  on Tuesday following a writ petition filed by Prof AKM Fazlul Haque, a member of previous Trustee Board of Manarat International University.

Fazlul Haque filed the plea challenging the legality of government action to reconstitute the trustee board of the university.

The court asked the government to explain the ruling in four week.  

Earlier on September 8, the government reconstituted the Trustee Board of Manarat University with making Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Atiqul Islam its chairman.
