Case Number Writ Petition No. 11645 of 1994
Decision Date Nov 21, 1994
Hearing Date
Decision The Lahore High Court ruled in favor of the petitioner, Ahmad Bilal, allowing him to take the 2nd Year Supplementary Examination scheduled for February 1995 and restoring his status as a 1992 entry student. The court found that the petitioner was wrongfully expelled based on unsubstantiated allegations concerning a tampered result card. The court emphasized that no individual should suffer due to the actions or inactions of authorities, particularly when the allegations against him were not proven. The decision highlighted the need for timely action and verification by educational institutions to prevent undue hardship to students.
Summary In the case of Writ Petition No. 11645 of 1994 at the Lahore High Court, the petitioner, Ahmad Bilal, challenged his wrongful expulsion from the University of Engineering and Technology based on allegations of submitting a tampered result card. The petitioner had previously secured admission in 1992 and successfully passed his First Year Examination in Mechanical Engineering. The court found that the allegations against him were unfounded as the University of Punjab confirmed the authenticity of his result card. The court ruled that the leisurely attitude of both universities in verifying the result card should not penalize the petitioner and directed the University of Engineering and Technology to allow him to take the upcoming supplementary examination. This case underscores the importance of fair administrative practices and the rights of students in educational institutions, ensuring that they are not unjustly deprived of their academic progress due to procedural delays. The ruling serves as a precedent for similar cases where students face administrative injustices based on unproven allegations.
