LUCKNOW: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has directed the state authorities to not take any coercive action or demolition against 27 madrasas of Shravasti district—the petitioners—till the next date of hearing in the case on July 3.

The court passed the interim order on June 5 taking note of the notices sent to the madrasas on May 1, 2025. The court said, "...It reflects that all notices are bearing one number and prima facie appears to have been issued without due application of mind."

A vacation bench of Justice Jaspreet Singh passed the interim order on a bunch of 27 petitions filed by Madarsa Moinul Islam Qusmiya Samiti and others. The petitioners—madrasas—have approached the court challenging the action of the respondent—state, which has issued notices to the said madrasas restraining them from imparting religious education.
