A division bench of the Lahore High Court(LHC) here on Thursday withdrew its order in vice chancellors' appointment case to the extent of seven public sector universities where permanent heads were already appointed. The bench led by Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah on December 19 last had suspended a single bench judgment that struck appointment process initiated by the Punjab government for VCs at Punjab University, Lahore College for Women University, University of Sargodha and Nawaz Sharif University Engineering & Technology, Multan.
As an interim measure, the division bench had appointed new acting VCs at the four universities making selection from a list of senior most professors given by the government.
The bench had also observed that the fate of the VCs already appointed at the seven universities on August 27, 2015 would act provisionally and their fate would be subject to final decision of the government's intra court appeal against the single bench verdict. During the Thursday's hearing, Advocate General Punjab Shakilur Rehman Khan told to the bench that the matter of the seven universities was mistakenly made part of the proceedings in hand.
