Governor assents to SMI University’s laws

Karachi
The Sindh governor, who is also the chancellor of the Sindh Madressatul Islam University, has assented to the statutes approved by the varsity senate.
He gave his approval to the senate’s recommendations on January 19, an official of the SMI University said on Tuesday.
The statutes relate to the appointment and promotion of employees; conduct, efficiency and discipline, powers and duties of officers; pensions, the gratuity general provident fund; the provident fund; leaves and other matters concerning the official business of the university.
The statutes were debated and deliberated on in three meetings of the syndicate and were reviewed by a retired high court judge. The draft of the statutes, passed by the syndicate, was placed in the first meeting of the SMI University senate on November 13 presided over by Sindh governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan.
After the senate passed the statutes and the minutes of the meeting were confirmed, they were sent for a formal approval to the governor.
SMI University vice chancellor Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh congratulated the employees and students of the institution, terming it a historic day when the university had its own set of laws. He said there were a very few universities which had completed all the stages involved in the framing of statutes in such a short time.
