PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Friday declared the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Department’s decision of banning the degrees and diplomas issued by Al-Khair University void.
A candidate for teaching post had moved the PHC after her credentials were not accepted. The court directed the relevant officials to appoint the petitioner as teacher of the primary school.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth and Justice Qalandar Ali Khan issued the order. The petition had been filed by Asma Gul through her lawyer Barrister Kamran Qaiser.
The bench observed that the Education Department, however, can reject those candidates in the appointments who had got diplomas or degrees between April 30, 2009 to October 16, 2011 as during this period the Higher Education Commission had banned the university as the colleges affiliated with university were not registered with the HEC.
The court, however, declared the degrees and diplomas received from the university before and after the ban period mentioned above, were acceptable, adding the provincial government could not reject the credentials in appointments of teachers and others.
The lawyer submitted that his client was selected for the PST post. But she was dropped from the merit list on the ground that she had obtained her associate diploma in education from Al-Khair University Azad Kashmir.
