Lyari varsity may pull plug on Law College affiliation

However, if the committee upheld its objections, the affiliation would be cancelled.Mehdi alleged that the law college had admitted 200 students against an approved capacity of just 50 seats, describing the admissions as illegal.

He also claimed that the college had admitted students expelled from a private university and subsequently issued them degrees.The vice chancellor said the college's administrative status had remained contentious.According to him, its management had previously designated it a constituent college of the university, although its administration remained with the Sindh government rather than the university.

It was subsequently treated as an affiliated college despite the absence of a law faculty at the university.The university is now awaiting the inspection committee's findings before deciding whether the affiliation can continue, he added.Meanwhile, Mehdi announced that classes for the first batch of the Doctor of Physiotherapy programme would commence in January.
