A full bench of the Lahore High Court on Wednesday denied provincial minister Zaeem Ahmad Qadri exemption from personal appearance in proceedings of a case regarding illegality in establishment of Lahore campus of Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU), Multan.
Dismissing the request, Justice Syed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi, who is heading the bench, observed that the BZU sub-campus scandal appeared to be the largest one in education sector in the country's history. The bench however summoned Chairman Higher Education Commission, Secretary Higher Education Department and BZU Vice Chancellor on January 30.
Earlier, the counsel of the university told the bench that students were being enrolled except who were admitted to physiotherapy programme due to unavailability of faculty and affiliated teaching hospital.
At this, Justice Naqvi expressed dismay over the government's failure to timely respond to the protesting students' concerns.
He said after securing future of the students the court would expose the real hands involved in the scandal.
