PESHAWAR:
A division bench of the Peshawar High Court sought a detailed reply from the joint admission committee of the Khyber Medical College (KMC), director immigration and passports and National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) for not granting admission to a student against a quota seat.
Justices Qaiser Rasheed and Roohul Amin were hearing a petition filed by medical student Muhammad Jehanzeb, a resident of Hangu, through his lawyer Wali Khan Afridi. The counsel stated the petitioner applied for admission on quota seats.
He added the student hailed from Doaba, Hangu, an area with few opportunities, and applied for a seat set aside for his district.
Afridi argued Jehanzeb was third in line on the waiting list, adding seats would be given to students who studied from primary till FSc as per the rules and regulations. The lawyer said another student named Hashimullah, from the same area who studied from primary till college in Dubai, was granted admission. The petitioner claimed to have documented evidence showing that his rights had been snatched.
The bench, after hearing the arguments, ordered Deputy Attorney General Manzoor Khalil to present Hashimullah’s complete data before the court and ordered director immigration and passports, NADRA and the joint admission committee to submit replies.
