In a significant ruling, the Allahabad High Court has declared the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madarsa Education Act, 2004, unconstitutional and in violation of secular principles. The bench, comprising Justice Vivek Chaudhary and Justice Subhash Vidyarthi, also directed the state government to devise a scheme to integrate students currently enrolled in madrasas into the formal education system.
The verdict came in response to a writ petition filed by Anshuman Singh Rathore, challenging the constitutionality of the UP Madarsa Board and the management of madrasas by the Minority Welfare department, both at the Union and state levels.
The ruling marks a turning point following the state government’s decision to conduct a survey of Islamic education institutions and form a special investigation team (SIT) to probe madrasas’ foreign funds in October 2023.
As per the High Court’s decision, all grants received by grant-in-aid madrasas from the government will be discontinued, leading to the abolition of such institutions. This move signifies a significant shift in the educational landscape and raises questions about the future of Islamic education in Uttar Pradesh.
