The students were arrested when they forcibly entered into the Ministry premises and allegedly caused damages to public property.
The Colombo Magistrate's Court had rejected bail for the 21 university students stating that it did not possess the power to grant bail and further remanded the students till November 12.
The lawyers representing the students have now submitted a petition to the Colombo High Court seeking bail.
The petition is to be taken up by the High Court on Wednesday (03).
Meanwhile, university students are continuing with their protest campaigns against the arrest of students with several protests organized for today and tomorrow.
Today protests are being held at the Sabaragamuwa University and at the Institute of Indigenous Medicine in Rajagiriya.
Three more protests have been organized at the Ruhuna and Peradeniya Universities and the Aesthetic Institute in Colombo.
