| Decision |
The Sindh High Court dismissed the petition filed by Ashraf Ali seeking admission to the Bachelor of Engineering Course at NED University of Engineering & Technology. The petitioner claimed that he was entitled to admission based on his B.Sc. degree; however, he failed to meet the necessary qualifications as per the university's prospectus. The court found that the petitioner had not passed the required Higher Secondary Certificate Examination or an equivalent examination, and thus was not eligible for admission. The decision highlighted that the diploma of Associate Engineers was not recognized as equivalent to the Higher Secondary Certificate for admission to the Bachelor of Engineering program. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as the petitioner could not substantiate claims of discriminatory treatment or violation of fundamental rights. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the admission criteria for the Bachelor of Engineering Course at NED University. The petitioner, Ashraf Ali, contested the denial of his admission based on his B.Sc. (Pass) qualification. The court emphasized the importance of meeting specific educational requirements, including passing the Higher Secondary Certificate Examination or an equivalent. The ruling clarified that while the Inter-University Board recognized the Associate Engineers diploma for certain admissions, it did not apply to engineering programs. The decision underscored the necessity for compliance with established academic standards and the implications of educational regulations in Pakistan. The court dismissed the petition, reaffirming the legitimacy of the university's admission process and the absence of any violation of the petitioner's rights. |
