Hearing Date Dec 14, 2015
Decision The Lahore High Court dismissed the intra-court appeal filed by the appellants, who were students of Bachelor of Eastern Medicine & Surgery. The court found that the appellants had not provided sufficient evidence to substantiate their claims regarding their attendance and the rules of the educational institution. The requirement of 80% attendance was upheld, and it was determined that the students must adhere to the institution's disciplinary rules. The appeal was deemed devoid of merit and was dismissed.
Summary In the case of I.C.A. No. 109 of 2015, the Lahore High Court addressed the appeal of students from the Islamia University of Bahawalpur who were barred from taking their annual examination due to insufficient attendance. The court examined the university's attendance policy, which required a minimum attendance of 80%. The appellants contended that they were not adequately informed of the increased attendance requirement and that they had been treated unfairly compared to other students. However, the court emphasized that students are legally obliged to follow the rules set by educational institutions. The judges concluded that the appellants failed to provide solid evidence to support their claims, and thus, the appeal was dismissed. This case underscores the importance of adherence to institutional rules and the legal obligations of students within educational frameworks.
