| Decision |
The Islamabad High Court dismissed the petition filed by the student of law who sought to participate in the upcoming examination despite being newly admitted to the Law College. The court determined that under Regulation No. 5 of the Faculty of Law, a student must be on the rolls of the University Law College in the academic year preceding the examination to be eligible. Since the petitioner was admitted on April 4, 2019, he did not meet the criteria to sit for the examination in 2019. The court upheld the university's stance and ruled that the petitioner was not entitled to the relief sought, emphasizing that the regulations were clear and not in violation of natural justice. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a Writ Petition filed by a law student against the University of the Punjab, challenging the decision to prevent him from appearing in the upcoming examination due to his admission date. The Islamabad High Court, presided by Justice Mirza Wiqas Rauf, ruled on October 14, 2019, that the petitioner's admission in April 2019 did not meet the eligibility criteria set by the university's regulations, which required students to be on the rolls during the previous academic year. The decision highlights the importance of adherence to educational regulations and the procedural requirements for examination eligibility. Key takeaways include the necessity for students to understand their institutional regulations and the legal implications of their admission timelines. The ruling serves as a precedent for similar cases involving educational institutions and student rights. It is crucial for students to be aware of such regulatory frameworks to avoid future disputes regarding examination eligibility. |
