PESHAWAR:
The Peshawar High Court on Friday asked the Peshawar education board to submit replies over a request to suspend the affiliation of private schools with education boards across the provincial capital.
The answerers were sought by a two-member bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC), comprising of Justice Lal Jan Khattak and Justice Muhammad Ibrahim, as they heard a petition on Friday about leaking of exam papers.
During Friday’s hearing, the petitioner’s lawyer Bilal Khan told the court about the alleged outing of examination papers in the Palosai area of Peshawar. He added that the police have also lodged an FIR against the principal.
Bilal said that the affiliation of his client with the education board had been cancelled even though the principal had no concern with either the examination or outing the paper. He urged the court to declare the measures taken by the board’s administration against his as beyond their jurisdictions and hence illegal.
The court provisionally suspended the order of the Peshawar education board and directed it to produce all relevant records in the case at its next hearing.
