| Decision |
The court dismissed the constitutional petition filed by Miss Nadia Mehreen, which sought to challenge the decision of the Selection Committee regarding her non-admission to the 1st Year M.B.B.S. program at Bolan Medical College. The petitioner failed to appear before the Selection Committee for an interview on the scheduled date, citing illness and a curfew as reasons for her absence. However, the court found that she did not provide adequate evidence to support her claims and had not communicated with the Selection Committee in a timely manner. The court upheld the decision of the Selection Committee, which had acted within its authority under the admission policy, emphasizing the importance of candidates' physical presence during the interview process. The petitioner's belated application was deemed insufficient and lacking in merit, resulting in the dismissal of her case. |
