| Decision |
The Lahore High Court ruled in favor of the petitioner, Ahmad Latif Qureshi, stating that he was wrongfully expelled from the examination hall and had his answer book taken under false allegations of cheating. The Court found that the actions of the examination authorities were illegal and that the petitioner was entitled to be restored to his previous position. Consequently, the Court directed that the petitioner be allowed to sit for the examination in the subject of Mathematics and that if he succeeded, he should be declared to have passed the First Annual Examination under his original roll number, rather than in parts. This decision emphasizes the principles of justice and the right to fair treatment in educational assessments. |
| Summary |
In the case of Ahmad Latif Qureshi vs. Controller of Examination, Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Lahore, the petitioner challenged the actions of the examination authorities after his answer book was confiscated during the First Annual Examination due to alleged use of unfair means. The Appellate Committee later exonerated him, but the Board insisted he must sit for a supplementary examination. The High Court found the actions of the Board to be unlawful and granted relief, ensuring that the petitioner could have his results counted as if he had passed in the first attempt. This case highlights the importance of due process in educational settings and the need for authorities to adhere to legal standards in their operations. |
