'Expelled' student appears in PU exams
Lahore: An 'expelled' student belonging to the Islami Jamiat Tulaba (IJT) of the Punjab University (PU), who was also involved in the PU firing case is appearing in the ongoing examinations at the PU Law College.

Ansar Shoaib was expelled from the PU for serious disciplinary issues last year. A senior teacher from the PU Law College said Shoaib was attempting the current examinations with the claim that he had appealed to the vice-chancellor (VC) about his expulsion. He said the expelled student had managed this with the help of other IJT activists, adding that the college authorities could do nothing to stop him. He said it was pointless for Shoaib to appear in the examinations, as he would not receive any result or degree.

The University Students Federation (USF) – which claims to have informed the administration about the presence of expelled students in the examination hall - criticised the university authorities for not taking any action. In a press statement, USF activists criticised the fact that an expelled student, who was banned from the campus, had managed to appear in the examination. They said Shoaib was also nominated in the December 3 firing incident.

According to a PU official, the PU administration, upon being informed about the incident, rushed to the examination hall but IJT activists did not listen to them. He said the university administration had asked the local police on several occasions to take action against expelled students, but they had failed to take any action yet.

Not eligible: PU registrar Professor Dr Muhammad Naeem Khan said if any appeal was pending with the VC, the expelled student was not eligible to sit in the examinations. He said the administration had instructed the PU examinations controller not to issue any result cards to expelled students. "If any expelled student manages to sneak in the examination hall it does not mean he would also receive the result," he said. "We will probe the matter and ensure the expulsion orders are implemented properly," he added. He said they would ask the authorities concerned to brief the administration on how an expelled student managed to appear in the examinations.

Stay order: PU IJT nazim Qaiser Sharif said Shoaib was student of Law in the 5th semester, adding that he had a stay order from court.

He said Governor Salmaan Taseer had ordered a fair inquiry of the expelled students, adding that they were students of the varsity until any final decisions had been made.

Lahore High Court seeks BISE reply on re-assessment plea
Lahore: The Lahore High Court on Monday sought a report from the chairman of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Lahore, in a petition seeking re-evaluation of papers of two FSc students on the plea that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had ruled in favour of reassessment in Farah Hameed Dogar's case.

Petitioner Khadim Hussain said his two sons Usman and Ali appeared in the FSc examination but he was not satisfied with their result in the subjects of physics, chemistry and biology. He apprehended that examiners deliberately gave them less marks.

He said the IHC had held in Farah Dogar's case last week that the tool of re-assessment was a check on the ignorance and arbitrariness of the examiner. The petitioner said the benefit of the IHC verdict should be given to all students who wanted their papers be re-assessed. Dawn
