PU VC: Dr Kamran’s appointment challenged

LAHORE: The re-appointment of Dr Mujahid Kamran as Punjab University vice chancellor was challenged on Friday before the Lahore High Court. Dr Yousaf Hayat, who was one of the contenders for the vice chancellorship, filed the petition. He stated that Kamran’s re-appointment was not only a violation of the Punjab University Act but also of the Supreme Court judgment against re-employment of retired people. Hayat said that the Punjab government had deprived the eligible candidates of their lawful right by re-appointing Kamran. He urged the court to set aside the impugned appointment.
