The court ordered the PMDC to make the papers available on its official app so that all candidates could access and review them.The petitions were filed by two candidates, Anabia Tahir and Rehan Shahid.
Their counsel, Barrister Imran Afrasiab, argued that candidates should be allowed to retain question papers after completing an examination, adding that this was the established practice worldwide.He contended that students were entitled to question papers after examinations, including those conducted by schools, colleges and universities, and that examination authorities could not forcibly retrieve them once candidates had been allowed to use them.Afrasiab said the PMDC had unilaterally introduced the policy….
He challenged the move as illegal.Federal government counsel Malik Zaheer Arshad partially supported the petitioners' position, while the PMDC's lawyer defended the council's decision and urged the court to dismiss the petitions.After hearing the arguments, the court declared the practice illegal and directed the PMDC to upload the question papers to its official application without delay, enabling candidates to access and study them.
The court also ordered immediate implementation of its decision.The Lahore High Court (LHC) has extended its interim order restraining all medical colleges in Punjab from expelling Afghan students in view of a controversial Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) notification.Justice Khalid Ishaq on Friday heard petitions filed by more than 30 Afghan students against their expulsion from medical colleges.During the hearing, the PMDC's counsel sought an adjournment.
The court accepted the request, postponed further proceedings, and extended the interim relief granted to the petitioners.The petitioners submitted that they had secured admission to medical colleges under the Afghan refugees' quota.
