Equivalence of qualification
Equivalence of qualification legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Petitioner (candidate) qualified Ashahadat-ul-Alimmiya Fil Aloom-ul-Islamia Wal Arabia from Wafaq-ul-Madaris (Al-Arabia)
Petitioner (candidate) on the basis of such qualification was granted equivalence certificate and her qualification was declared equivalent, to M.A. Arabic/Islamic Studies subject to passing two additional subjects other than Arabic and Islamic Studies at the level of B.A.
Petitioner (candidate) qualified the additional subjects of Punjabi and Education and thereafter enrolled herself in M.A. (Urdu)
While appearing in the examination of M.A. (Urdu), her roll number was withheld on account of the fact that she had not passed the English paper at B.A. Level
Validity
Petitioner (candidate) had embarked upon the journey suggested in the equivalence certificate and had successfully qualified in Punjabi, Education, Islamic Studies and Pakistan Studies in the examination, result card in such respect had also been issued
Petitioner had already crossed the rubicon, therefore the University could not impose a new conditionality
Respondent officials had attempted to place curbs and fetters on the right of the petitioner (candidate) to study further in order to better/improve her prospects in life
Condition of passing English subject was intended for the holders of Shahadatul San via Sanad only
Such condition could by any stretch of imagination be read into the equivalence certificate regarding the holders of Ashahadat-ul-Alimmiya Fil Aloom-ul-Islamia Wal Arabia Sanad
Actions of the respondent-University to withhold the roll number of the petitioner (candidate) and prevent her from appearing in M.A. Urdu examination amounted to sitting over and holding back her result card
Impugned actions were declared illegal, unlawful, without lawful authority and of no legal effect
Respondent-University was directed to issue result card to the petitioner (candidate) forthwith
Constitutional petition was allowed.
