The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday continued the interim restraining order with regard to the finalisation of the appointment of the University of Karachi’s (KU) vice chancellor (VC) till the verification in respect of candidates’ credentials and 25 research publications are obtained from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC).
The interim order came on the petition of Prof Mohammad Ahmed Qadri and Prof Moonis Ahmer challenging the selection criteria of the search committee for the KU VC’s appointment.
The petitioners’ counsel Abrar Hasan submitted that the search committee was attempting to single out petitioner Qadri by asking him to get verified his 25 research publications through the HEC.
