LAHORE: A full bench of Lahore High Court (LHC), as an interim relief, has ordered to reopen the Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) sub-campus in Lahore, with directives to the administration not to offer further admissions. The court also ordered BZU sub-campus chief executive officer (CEO) Munir Bhatti to appear on April 6, and submit an affidavit. During the hearing on Tuesday, the BZU vice chancellor appeared before the court, and submitted record of students. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) and High Education Department officials told the court that the administration of the sub-campus was willing to offer its campus for the classes of the students. A law officer informed the court that the BZU Syndicate had suspended the notification of the sub-campus, and it did not banned it permanently. Counsel for petitioners said that the students of the sub-campus could not attend classes Multan. However, the bench ordered reopening of the sub-campus for those students, who had already secured admission there, and stopped the administration from making further admissions. The bench was hearing petitions of students against the university’s administration after the HEC had declared it illegal, and the campus was closed for students. They had challenged their non-enrolment at disputed sub-campus of the BZU in Lahore. Petitioners claim is that due to closure of the Lahore campus, their future is at stake and no one is inclined to redress their grievances. Counsel for petitioners said that his clients had been deprived of degrees despite submitting fee. Separately, Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah Tuesday formed a three-member bench to hear an appeal challenging a decision of an anti-terrorism court (ATC) of not summoning Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and others in Model Town killings case. The bench comprises Justice Muhammad Yawar Ali, Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Abdul Sami Khan. On March 3, 2016, the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and the Minhajul Quran top leadership had filed a private complaint seeking trial of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif, MNA Saad Rafique, former information minister Pervez Rashid, state minister Abid Sher Ali, former personal secretary to chief minister, Tauqir Shah, home secretary Azam Suleman, former Lahore commissioner Rashid Langaryal and others accusing them of the “murder of innocent PAT workers in June 2014”. The trial court had partially accepted the PAT’s plea and summoned Punjab inspector general of police and others. The court dismissed PAT’s plea seeking trial of the PM, CM, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah and eight other MNAs. Minhajul Quran administrator Jawad Hamid had filed the appeal. Counsel for appellate alleged that the prime minister, his cabinet members and others were the real mastermind and abettors of the incident, and they should also be tried. He requested the court to set aside the anti-terrorism court decision, and direct it to summon the twelve respondents.
