| Decision |
The petition filed by Miss Naveed Yousuf was allowed by the Sindh High Court, confirming her admission to the M.B.B.S. Class for the academic session of 1978-79 at Dow Medical College. The court ruled that the cancellation of her admission was without lawful authority, as she was entitled to claim a reserved seat for children of doctors under the relevant rules. The court found that the provisions requiring a Permanent Residence Certificate did not apply to her case, given the special interest provisions for children of doctors. The court emphasized that as a minor, the domicile of the petitioner was that of her father, validating her admission based on her mother's qualifications as a registered medical practitioner. The court's ruling reinstated her legal admission and quashed the earlier cancellation order. |

In the landmark case involving Miss Naveed Yousuf, the Sindh High Court addressed critical issues surrounding admissions into medical colleges in Pakistan, particularly for children of registered medical practitioners. The case emphasized the importance of domicile in determining eligibility for reserved seats, shedding light on the constitutional rights of students seeking admission in educational institutions. The ruling clarified that rules requiring Permanent Residence Certificates do not apply to special interest categories, such as children of doctors.
