However, the list will remain accessible to the concerned hall authorities and offices.

The decision follows a writ petition submitted to the High Court seeking restrictions on the publication of personal information of voters in the Ducsu elections.
The petition also requested that photos of female students who wish to keep their images private not be made public.
Five students of Dhaka University — Sabikunnahar Tamanna, Md Zakaria, Fatema, Tasnim Jhuma, and Redwan Mondal Rifat — jointly filed the writ in the relevant High Court branch on Sunday.
Advocate Faizullah Faiz represented the petitioners in court.
The Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University and the Chief Returning Officer of the elections have been named as respondents in the petition.
