HC rejects writ petition seeking cancellation of medical admission tests

The High Court yesterday rejected a writ petition which sought its order for instruction to cancel the medical admission test held on September 18 and to conduct a judicial inquiry into the test question leak allegation.

The HC bench passed the order as petitioner Eunus Ali Akond, a Supreme Court lawyer, was not present before it, said Deputy Attorney General Motaher Hossain Saju.

DAG Motaher told the court that the writ petition was ineffective because this year's admission process had already been completed.

Eunus could not be reached over the cell phone for his comments despite repeated attempts. 

Earlier on September 21, another bench rejected a similar writ petition 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 cannot be cancelled even if a few students passed with the help of leaked questions.
