The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday issued notice to MNA Amir Yar for May 31, in a petition challenging his academic degrees. The petitioner Muhammad Arshad Pirzada, a voter of the same constituency NA-184, Bahawalpur, through his counsel Aftab Ahmad Bajwa contended that the sitting MNA Amir Yar acquired his B.Com degree from Shah Abdul University Khairpur, Sindh in year 1997.
But the university on verification request of Muhammad Rafique Qamar had termed the degree possessed by Amir Yar as bogus. The petitioner counsel pointed out that the LHC Bahawalpur bench in its judgment on February 1, 2008 following the report of the university had declared him ineligible to contest election.
However, the counsel said, the respondent MNA later appeared in examinations of B.A from Islamia University Bahawalpur and found guilty of impersonation. A disciplinary committee of the university had disqualified him for a period of three years as well as cancelled his examination of B.A.
He said the respondent despite ban of three years imposed on him he got registration in Balochistan University and appeared in exams of B.A in year 2004. But he could not pass the examination, the counsel added. The Balochistan University also initiated proceedings against the respondent and held him guilty of concealing facts and keeping bogus degree. He therefore prayed the court to declare the respondent member national assembly disqualified.
