A division bench of Lahore High Court on Tuesday rejected a request by University of Health Sciences (UHS) to vacate the stay against its Combined Merit List for admission to the medical colleges and deferred hearing by one day.
Lawyers of UHS, Pakistan Medical and Dental Council and the petitioner began brawling and quarrelling in the courtroom, disrupting the proceedings and annoying the court.
The court, warning the lawyers, observed “Should we close down the court if you want to decide the matter yourself?”
The bench comprising Justice Ch Shahid Saeed and Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan, reprimanding the parties, suspended the proceedings for a while. However the lawyers apologised to the court for their rough attitude and said they would observe the court’s decorum.
Before the eruption of a storm in the courtroom, the bench asked PMDC counsel Ch Muhammad Umair why there was no check on private medical colleges which were charging fee in lacs. The court also asked if the son or daughter of a poor man could afford to study in these private colleges and that had the PMDC fixed some quota in the medical colleges for the poor?
The court also rejected the request of UHS Counsel Arsalan Husan Syed to vacate the stay order granted on previous hearing against implementation of UHS’s merit list observing that proceedings in the case were almost complete. The situation took a bad turn when the petitioner’s counsel Azhar Siddique told the court that UHS’ counsel was lying.
The UHS counsel had said an LHC bench in a judgment in 2010 had set a standard process for admissions which the university was following together with PMDC rules of the business. PMDC counsel told the court that the FSc system had some defects so the entry test system was used as a standard measure.
Azhar said UHS counsel was lying to the court as in 2010 question of the FSc pass marks came before court and the question of giving more weightage to entry test marks over FSc marks had been raised for the first time.
The bench directed the counsel for the petitioner to complete his arguments on Wednesday (today), when the judgment would also be announced.

  3. LHC must vacate stay order against UHSmerit list and end the chaos among students.the formula of merit calculation was already decided and those students are protesting against it who could not do well in MCAT.Now there appeal is untimely.Where were they before the holding of MCAT?Any change will be unjustified and affected students must go toSupreme court against the verdict of LHC

    • we are protesting for our rights.if you do well in MCAT you should not against our rights.i think LHC should reject entrytest.

  4. MCAT is the only way to filter those students who use false ways to get through exams.or in other words' BOTY MAFIA'.I think that entry test is essential,and it must be mandatory condition for admissions to professional colleges.

  5. They are playing with our time and future, make a decision, display the merit list and for Heaven's sake END IT! 10, 40, 50 is one of the best decisions ever made and now we end up gabbling at it too. For the sake of everything that's Holy.. LHC END THIS !
