Take steps to hold DUCSU polls in 6 months: HC

The High Court has directed Dhaka University authorities to take steps to organize Dhaka University Central Student’s Union (DUCSU) elections in six months.

The HC bench of Justice Syed Md Dastagir Hossain and Justice Md Ataur Rahman Khan on Wednesday passed the order after hearing a writ petition.

Twenty-five students of Dhaka University filed a writ petition in 2012, seeking an order from the High Court for the authorities to take immediate steps to hold elections to DUCSU.

The last elections to the DUCSU took place 27 years ago on June 6, 1990.
