SC dismisses plea against madrassa degrees of 68 ex-MPs
Islamabad: A five-member larger bench of the Supreme Court on
Thursday dismissed a review petition against the madrassa degrees of 68
lawmakers. The bench consisiting of Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, Justice
Nasirul Mulk, Justice Moosa K Leghari, Justice Sheikh Hakim Ali and Justice
Ghulam Rabbani was hearing a review petition filed by Dr Aslam Khaki challenging
the educational degrees, obtained from madrassas, of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal
(MMA) legislators. The court held that the members of parliament whose
educational degrees, obtained from madrassas, were challenged had completed
their terms, so the petition stood anfractuous. Appearing on notice, Qari Abdur
Rashid, counsel for the respondents (the MPs) submitted that as his clients had
completed their tenure, there was no further need to hear the case on merit. Dr
Aslam Khaki, however, submitted that his petition was of a more academic nature
and had public importance, thus it must be heard on merit. Dr Khaki had
challenged the educational qualification of 68 MMA legislators in 2003 on the
grounds that their degrees obtained from madrassas were not equivalent to
graduation as per the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act 1974. He had
referred to the rules of the UGC which stated that madrassa degrees
(Dars-e-Nizami and Shariah etc) would be considered equivalent to a Master's
degree only for teaching purposes. Daily Times
