HEC has requested all Ex-Parliamentarians (MNAs/Senators/MPAs) who have not yet verified their degrees by HEC so far, to do so before April 5, 2013 by providing the original degrees, original SSC/HSSC or equivalence certificates and copy of the National Identity Card. All universities have also been directed to have their controller examination departments open till late hours.
According to a report submitted to the Supreme Court on Monday, 183 degrees of Parliamentarians stood unverified due to non-availability of Matric/Inter certificates.
It said 54 degrees had been declared as fake and cases of 19 Parliamentarians were currently under litigation in various courts for verification of their degrees.
