LHC admits petition
for hearing
A full bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan Wednesday admitted to regular hearing the appeal filed by Govt College University, Lahore, against the award of gold medal to a girl student through a previously decided case by the Lahore High Court.
On the petition filed through SM Masud, the Court has also ordered the authorities for maintaining status with regard to the award to Gold Medal to the student, Syeda Fiza Abbas.
The petitioner counsel told the Bench that the university had named one Syed Asad Hussain for the award under the examination regulations framed in 1999 and amended in 2007 and were holding the field in 2005 when the badge of both contending students was enrolled in the university.
He said the regulation amended in 2007 counted GPA in the total marks but that was not applicable to the said badge but the Lahore High Court allowed the same to respondent student by virtue of which she preceded the male student to merit the gold medal. The counsel said if the LHC order was allowed to hold the field, all the awards given since 1999 would become questionable.
The court after hearing the petition at preliminary stage, admitted the same to regular hearing and ordered for maintaining the status quo.
