The High Court (HC) has ordered the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) to reinstate the dormitory seat of its student and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) leader, Imtiaz Hossain Rahim Rabbi.
Following a petition filed challenging the legality of the suspension, an HC bench of Justice Md Khasruzzaman and Justice KM Zahid Sarwar Kajol issued the directive on Monday (8 April).
Barrister Harun Ur Rashid has filed the writ in the High Court on behalf of Rabbi.
The university revoked the dormitory seat of Rabbi, a student of the civil engineering department, following protests by a group of students demanding his punishment for accompanying BCL leaders during their entry onto the campus.
Earlier, following a writ filed by Imtiaz Rabbi, the High Court stayed the effectiveness of the university's notice banning student politics.
BUET banned student politics on campus following the murder of Abrar Fahad in the university's Sher-e-Bangla Hall on 7 October 2019.
