The 13 student leaders whose permanent exclusion were stayed by the Waigani National Court on Thursday were allowed to register for the remaining of semester 1 classes at the University of Papua New Guinea.
They were issued resumption forms and allowed to register and resume classes on Friday after orders of the National Court was served to the university.
Their lawyer Ramsey Pariwa served the orders of the court on UPNG Registrar Jennifer Popat and acting pro vice-chancellor academic & student affairs, Dr. Mange Matui, around lunch time on Friday.
Kenneth Rapa and 12 other student leaders were granted a temporary stay order by the court on their permanent exclusion of studies on Aug 9.
The stay against the students’ exclusion was granted after Justice Collin Makail allowed for a judicial review to be conducted.
But the stay against their exclusion was not granted without a warning from Justice Makail.
He told the students that the university is a place for studies and the stay should serve as a lesson to them, adding there is clear evidence of properties destroyed during the unrest.
Their lawyer will have until Oct 20 to fix and file relevant court documents for the substantive hearing of the review.
Another case that was earlier filed by seven other student leaders will also return to court on Oct 20.
