A petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Tuesday ( 31-05-2022) against the Assam government’s decision to convert state-funded madrasas into general educational institutions, alleging that it was an “arbitrary exercise of legislative and executive powers” to deny Muslims the right to follow their religion and culture.

The High Court had earlier dismissed the petition challenging the validity of the act and had said that the changes brought are for provincialized Madrassas alone, which are govt schools, and not for private or community ones.
Filing the appeal against the order of February 4, Md Imad Uddin Barbhuiya and others have sought a stay on the High Court order.
The operation of the High Court judgement will result in the discontinuation of the Petitioner Madrassas.
