The court also ordered for observance of all national days, including the Independence Day and the Victory Day, with due solemnity at the English medium schools.

On April 5, the High Court (HC) fixed May 25 for passing order after hearing on the rule.
Barrister Badruddoza Badal said, according to the Education Ordinance 1962 and 2007, the HC ordered formation of managing committees involving the representatives of guardians which will fix all fees, including that of admission.
