BHC summons university officials

Published November 4, 2002

QUETTA, Nov 3: The Balochistan High Court has summoned concerned officials of the Balochistan University on Tuesday next in connection with the boycott of the B.Com final examination candidates.

A large number of students appeared before the learned court and requested the Chief Justice Raja Fayyaz Ahmed to take notice of the attitude of university authorities towards students who were appearing in the examination.

They said that all the candidates went to the university to attend their second paper of Cost Accounting. The students realized that the paper distributed among them was out of syllabus. They informed the concerned authorities about the paper and requested for re-setting the paper, such case also happened last and the students were given a chance.

However, the efforts and requests of the students went all in vain. Students also asked them to call experts for resolving the issue but they refused and called out the so-called peace force of the university which manhandled and beat up the students including girl students. This attitude forced the students to walkout from the examination centre.

The protesting students were told that the university would not reschedule the examination and those who boycotted the examination would appear in supplementary examination next year. They said that with such attitude of the university authorities the students would lose one precious year. They requested the chief Justice to take notice of this arrogant attitude of the concerned officials of the university and give relief to the affected students.
