Delhi University has informed the high court that it will conduct a special examination after July 4 for students who wish to observe Eid al-Azha on May 28.
The decision was made after a Muslim student of the sixth semester, Faculty of Law, challenged the university’s May 25 decision to conduct examinations on May 28.
Students belonging to the minority community or those who wish to celebrate the festival of Eid-ul-Azha on May 28 may inform the Dean, Faculty of Law, by May 27.
The rescheduled examination date will be communicated to the students at least a week in advance.
The petitioner had objected to the DU's decision to proceed with holding the examination on May 28 despite the central government notifying that date as a holiday for Eid.
