LUCKNOW:

The Board had also stopped classes of both the courses leaving students in the dark.

Following this, a group of students approached the Apex Court.

However, now the "Teachers Association Madaris Arabia" is all set to approach the Supreme Court seeking relief for the affected students.

There are around 16,460 madrasas recognised by the UP Madrasa Board in which around 28,000 students are studying in the first, second and third year of Kamil and about 9,000 students are studying in the first and second year of Fazil.
