| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan granted leave to appeal against the judgment of the Balochistan High Court dated 9-5-1991. The High Court had disqualified the petitioner on grounds related to obtaining education outside the province, acquiring a local certificate on the last date of submission, and not appearing for the initial interview. The Supreme Court found that the Selection Committee had accepted the petitioner's reasons for these issues and extended the date for application submission. Consequently, the Supreme Court suspended the High Court's judgment, allowing the petitioner to continue, with the condition that the respondent Javed Iqbal would be accommodated as agreed by both counsels. Security was set at Rs.3,000. |
| Summary |
This case involves a dispute over admission to an engineering college in Khuzdar, Balochistan. The petitioner, Javed Fazal, was initially selected for admission under reserved seats for candidates from Kachhi District. However, this selection was challenged by respondent Javed Iqbal through a constitutional petition, leading to the High Court disqualifying the petitioner. The High Court's decision was based on several grounds: the petitioner received education outside the province without sufficient reason, acquired a local certificate on the last submission date, and missed the initial interview. The Supreme Court intervened, granting leave to appeal and suspending the High Court's judgment. The Supreme Court acknowledged the Selection Committee's acceptance of the petitioner's reasons and noted the extended application submission date. This case underscores the complexities of educational admission processes and the legal challenges that can arise. The Supreme Court's decision highlights the importance of considering all circumstances in admission disputes.
