GCU directed to readmit rusticated students
Lahore: Justice Najam-uz-Zaman of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday
directed the Registrar Government College University (GCU) to consider
readmission of those students who were rusticated for staging protest against
the GCU administration.
The judge also directed the Registrar to ask the
university authorities to withdraw cases against the students for the sake of
their academic career. The judge observed that there was no justification of
cases under terrorism act against the students for staging a simple protest.
"They are students not criminals," the judge further observed.
Meanwhile, a
law officer told the court that the students had been declared innocent in the
investigation held by the police.
Adjourning the hearing till November 14 the
judge directed the GCU Registrar to come up with a report about the steps taken
by the administration with regard to the reinstatement of the
students.
Justice Zaman was conducting hearing on a suo moto notice taken by
CJ Sayed Zahid Hussain on the students' apathy after it was reported in Press
that two students had been sent to jail by an Anti-terrorism Court.
The
students were arrested when the GCU administration rusticated more than 600
students for remaining absent from the varsity. The next day, the students held
a protest demonstration on Lower Mall against GCU administration's harsh
punishment. The administration decided to teach an exemplary lesson to the
students, as it not only got registered a case against them but passed strict
instructions to the police to arrest them. The Nation
