The Dhaka University authorities have been served a legal notice to cancel its recent directives and rules banning married female students from staying at dormitories.
The legal notice has been sent to the vice-chancellor, registrar, proctor, and provost of Bangladesh-Kuwait Maitree Hall, Shamsun Nahar Hall, and Kabi Sufia Kamal Hall.
Mohammad Shishir Monir, a Supreme Court lawyer and a former student of DU's law department, sent the notice on Wednesday.
The authorities must take the necessary steps to cancel the ban within three working days of receiving the notice. Otherwise, a writ petition will be filed in the high court, the notice said.
