| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the Punjab Pharmacy Education Foundation, concluding that the petitioner failed to meet the requirements for affiliation with the Central Pharmacy Council of Pakistan. The court noted that the inquiry committee found no laboratory or facilities at the petitioner's location, and the petitioner had misled the public into believing they were already affiliated. The court emphasized that the petitioner approached the court with unclean hands, as they had charged fees from students despite not being affiliated. The ruling reflected the importance of maintaining educational standards and the necessity of proper affiliation processes to ensure quality education. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the Punjab Pharmacy Education Foundation's application for affiliation with the Central Pharmacy Council of Pakistan, which was rejected.

The decision reinforces the significance of proper educational standards and the legal protocols that must be followed for affiliation.
