A. /M.Sc. (lions. Semester Studies (v) For the award of Gold Medal or some other award the Ist position will be calculated on OPM (Overall Percentage Marks) basis of the whole course of M.A./M.Sc. (lions.) degree. (vi) For the award of Gold Medal, role of honours and all other distinctions of Punjab University, a student must have passed all the examinations of the concerned course in first attempt. In case the aforesaid facts are put in a juxta position then it is crystal clear that the petitioner has not passed Semester‑II in one attempt coupled with the fact that the competent authority has framed special regulation for grant of gold medal. It is settled principle of law that special regulation excludes the general regulation as per law laid down by the Honourable Supreme Court in the following judgments:‑‑ Zia‑ur‑Rehman's case (PLD 1973 SC 49) Mian Nawaz Sharif's case (PLD 1993 SC 473) As the special regulation prescribes specific condition that the petitioner must have passed all the examinations of the concerned course in first attempt. The petitioner fails to fulfil the specific condition laid down in the special regulation mentioned above. It is settled principle of law that for the purpose of maintaining the Constitution petition, it is the duty and obligation of the petitioner to show that the action of the respondents is in derogation of the rules and regulations of the respondents. The petitioner fails to bring her case within the parameters of the regulations of the respondents, therefore, Constitutional petition is not maintainable as per law laid down by the Honourable Supreme Court in Ali Mir's case (1984 SCMR 433). In view of what has been discussed above, I do not find any merit in this petition, therefore, writ petition is dismissed. M.H./R‑105/L Petition dismissed.
