| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the constitutional petition filed by MUJTABA HASSAN against the Vice Chancellor of BAHA-UDDIN ZAKARIYA UNIVERSITY regarding his migration request from the University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi. The court noted that the petitioner failed to demonstrate any infringement of rights or violation of rules when his migration request was declined. The court emphasized that the process of migration is regulated by the institution's relevant rules and that the mere availability of seats does not guarantee migration rights. Therefore, the petition was dismissed due to lack of legal merit. |
