The High Court today further rejected a writ petition seeking the
authorities to cancel the medical admission test held on September 18,
and to probe into the allegations of question leakage.
The HC bench of Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Md
Ashraful Kamal passed the order as petitioner and lawyer Eunus Ali Akond
was not present before it during the hearing, Deputy Attorney General
Motaher Hossain Saju told The Daily Star.
During hearing, DAG Motaher told the court that the writ petition has
become ineffective, because the process for admission of medical
students for this year has already been completed.
Eunus Ali Akond could not be reached for his comments despite repeated attempts to talk to him over cell phone later today.
Eunus, a Supreme Court lawyer, submitted the writ petition as public
interest litigation on September 30, also praying to the HC to issue a
rule upon the authorities concerned of the government to explain why the
results of medical admission test should not be cancelled for leakage
of its question paper.
Earlier, the bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice JN Deb
Choudhury summarily rejected a similar writ petition on September 21
filed by Eunus after hearing arguments from Attorney General Mahbubey
Alam.
The attorney general had told the court that the result of thousands
of successful students could not be cancelled for a few students passing
on the leaked question paper.
