The writ petition filed by Zahoor Hussain Shah was dismissed by the Peshawar High Court. The court ruled that the petitioner had failed to clear the First Professional MBBS Examination within the allowed four attempts, as per the rules set out by the PMDC. The court emphasized that the conditions outlined in the prospectus for medical education were designed to evaluate a student's competency in pursuing medical studies. As the petitioner had availed four chances without success, he was deemed ineligible to continue his medical education. The court recognized the petitioner's arguments regarding his mother's illness affecting his performance but ultimately found that the rules were clear and had to be adhered to. The decision highlighted the importance of maintaining educational standards in medical institutions. |
