The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) has disapproved plan for the setting up of a law college by Qurtuba University, Peshawar, at its campus. The Qurtuba university had applied for seeking approval of the PBC for establishing a law college in the premises of the university at Peshawar.
But it failed to go through the legal education committee of the Pakistan Bar Council in its meeting held on December 24 last at Karachi, which disapproved Qurtuba university plans to set up law college in Peshawar.
According to a facsimile of the PBC received here, the decision of the legal committee was put before the PBC meeting on July 2 last which supported the decision of its legal education committee taken in its meeting on December 24 last year.
It said "the committee after thorough consideration of the matter was not convinced by the arguments put forth by representatives at the Qurtuba university, Peshawar, for setting up Law College/Faculty at their Peshawar Campus". In legal education committee's opinion, the proposed plan for setting up of law college, "appears to be meant for generating funds at the cost of legal education.
The committee was also of the view that the Charter of the Qurtuba University does not provide for establishing law faculty either at its principal seat or any of its campus elsewhere for imparting legal education.
The committee also emphasised that the Qurtuba university having established for the subjects of science and information technology, should focus and concentrate on promoting and advancing that area of education instead of wasting its energies on other subjects which do not fall within their sphere of activities specially the subject of 'Legal Education'.
