Judgment & Decree

MAULVI ANWARUL HAQ, J.

Learned counsel contends that the petitioners having failed in the 2nd semester were dropped from M.Sc. (Physics) course. They applied for re-admission and the same has been denied to them by respondent No.2-committee.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that several instances are there where re-admission has been granted in similar circumstances. Learned counsel for the respondent on the other hand, contends that two wrongs cannot make one right with reference to the case of "Zahoor Ahmed Azhar v. Islamia University, Bahawalpur through Vice-Chancellor and 4 others" (PLD 1998 Lahore 324).

3. I am afraid the petitioners are seeking re-admission on usual terms and not a very special favour and in case the university has made re-admissions in similar circumstances then the petitioner cannot be allowed to be discriminated in the matter of said re-admission.

4. The petitioners to immediately approach respondent No.1 with a properly drafted application giving details and particulars of the cases of re-admission and respondent No.1/Vice-Chancellor to decide the matter in strict accordance with law and ensure that no discrimination is caused to the petitioners. The writ petition is disposed of. A copy of this order to be immediately remitted to respondent No.1. It will be appreciated if the matter is decided within four weeks of the presentation of the said application of the petitioners. F.B./H-5/L Petition disposed of
