Ch. Imran Hassan Ali is representing the University of Chakwal (“UoC”) in a Writ Petition before the Honourable Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi Bench. The petition was filed to challenge a decision of the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (“HEC”) withdrawing the No Objection Certificate earlier issued by it in favour of UoC. After hearing preliminary arguments, the Court suspended the impugned order and restrained HEC from proceeding against UoC till final decision of the main petition.
Note: This case pertained to the private sector university that was being established by the Horizon Welfare Society. After promulgation of the University of Chakwal Act, 2019, the name “University of Chakwal” has been allocated to a public sector university.
