হাইকোর্ট পারমিশন লিখিত পরীক্ষা প্রস্তুতি. (Writ Question No-04)

Post No- 130

Writ-Question No-04 (Writ Part):

Farida Begum took her disabled son Redwan on a wheel-chair to Dhanmondi Government Boys’ High School, Dhaka for admission. The Headmaster politely refused to admit Redwan on the ground that in crowded school, it is not safe for Redwan to be in the class room as the students may jeer at him and in consequence, the discipline and efficiency of the school management may be affected.

Farida Begum comes to you for seeking legal remedy, if any. Do you think that there is any remedy you can seek in the High Court Division? If so, draft an application for moving the High Court Division under the relevant Article of the Constitution. (9th January, 2016).

(প্রশ্নটি বাংলায় (রীট)ঃ ফরিদা বেগম তার প্রতিবন্দী পুত্র রেদোয়ানকে হুইল চেয়ারে বসিয়ে ধানমন্ডি সরকারী বালক উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়ে ভর্তি করার উদ্দেশ্যে নিয়ে যায়। বিদ্যালয়ের প্রধান শিক্ষিকা নম্রভাবে রেদোয়ানকে বিদ্যালয়ে ভর্তি করে নিতে অস্বীকৃতি জানান। কারণ একটা জনবহুল বিদ্যালয়ের শ্রেণীকক্ষে অবস্থান করা রেদোয়ানের জন্য নিরাপদ নয়। কারণ ছাত্র/ছাত্রীরা তাকে ব্যঙ্গ বিদ্রুপ বা টিটকারী দিতে পারে এবং তার ফলে বিদ্যালয় পরিচালনার নিয়মানুবর্তিতা এবং দক্ষতার হানি ঘটবে।

ফরিদা বেগম আইনত প্রতিকার লাভের আশায় আপনার নিকট আসলেন। আপনি কি মনে করেন হাইকোর্ট বিভাগে আপনি কোন প্রতিকার পাবেন; যদি পারেন, সংবিধানের সংশ্লিষ্ট অনুচ্ছেদের অধীনে দরখাস্তের একটি খসড়া প্রস্তুত করুন হাইকোর্ট বিভাগে দাখিল করার জন্য।
