37K students in limbo as UP Madrasa Board stops Kamil and Fazil classes

Hindustan Times  

The Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Board has ordered an immediate halt to Kamil and Fazil courses across the state’s madrasas, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that deemed these degrees unconstitutional. On November 5, 2024, the Supreme Court held that madrasas cannot confer higher education degrees, as it violates the University Grants Commission Act. In a letter dated January 16, 2025, UP Madrasa Board registrar RP Singh directed all district minority welfare officers to enforce the Supreme Court’s orders, ceasing Kamil and Fazil classes. On November 5, 2024, the Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad high court’s March ruling that had declared the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madrasa Education Act, 2004, unconstitutional.
