| Decision |
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court, affirming that the petitioner was charged with misconduct based on credible evidence of tampering with answer sheets. The High Court's reasoning was sound, and the petitioner's claims of innocence were not substantiated. Consequently, the petition for special leave to appeal was dismissed, and the petitioner was not granted leave to appeal. The conclusion drawn by the High Court regarding the petitioner's actions and the involvement of the Board's employees was deemed reasonable and justified, leading to the dismissal of the writ petition. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the misconduct of a petitioner, NASIR SAEED, who faced allegations of tampering with examination answer sheets. The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education accused him of collusion with staff to manipulate his answers outside the examination hall. The petitioner was exonerated by the FIA for criminal charges due to lack of evidence at the time of arrest but was still charged by the Board. The Supreme Court of Pakistan reviewed the High Court's dismissal of the petition and found no legal infirmity. The decision underscored the importance of maintaining integrity in educational assessments and the consequences of misconduct. Key issues included the examination process, allegations of unfair means, and the legal framework surrounding educational institutions. The case highlights the robust mechanisms in place to address academic misconduct and the judicial system's role in upholding educational standards. |
