The Sindh High Court on Tuesday instructed the administration of Karachi University to issue admit cards to two student sisters for appearing in the upcoming BA Part-II examination.

A division bench led by Chief Justice Mushir Alam was apprehended with the petition of Mohammad Tariq whose two naturalized Pakistani-Canadian daughters were not being issued the admit cards for want of equivalence certificates.

The applicant had required court order to the Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) for the issuance of equivalence certificate to his two naturalised Pakistani-Canadian daughters whose exam forms for BA Part-II had not been accepted by Karachi University for want of IBCC documents. He had applied for the IBBC documents in November 2010.

The petitioner, represented by Advocate Nasir Ahmed, impleaded the federal education secretary, IBCC chairman, secretary, and Assistant Secretary Wilayat Khan Khattak, and vice chancellor and controller of examination of Karachi University as respondents.The two sisters, Hina Fatima and Sadia Tariq did graduation from the British Columbia School System, Canada in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

The court on a previous hearing had directed the federal law officer to ensure that the authority concerned get verification of certificates of the student sisters.

The bench expressed displeasure over the lethargic attitude of the respondent officials towards the case of the petitioner’s daughters and observed that the authority concerned was responsible to get verification of the students’ academic certificate that they had obtained from a foreign educational institution.

The bench stated that attention of the deputy attorney general was drawn on Nov 16 to the e-mail address available on the documents of the two sisters to obtain verification promptly.
