Summary The high court ordered PMDC to file a reply and adjourned hearing until November 29
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Lahore High Court (LHC) has annulled notification of Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) on Tuesday nullifying conditional admission in MBBS programme in private universities over MCAT-II.
The court collectively heard three pleas that challenged PMDC’s stance pertaining to admissions of students who had passed SAT-II and MCAT-II.
Reportedly, PMDC permitted MBBS admissions to students who had passed MCAT-II and SAT-II exams but another notification was issued later on halting admissions of SAT-II passed students in private universities.
Counsels for the petitioners maintained in the court that no citizen could be subjected to discriminatory attitude. A new law could not be enacted on students who had fulfilled the legal requirements under the previous law, they added.
The high court ordered PMDC to file a reply and adjourned hearing until November 29.
