Appointment of PTUT VC stayed

Published September 3, 2019

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Monday stayed the appointment of vice chancellor of the Punjab Tianjin University of Technology (PTUT).

The single bench comprising Justice Shahid Waheed passed the orders on a petition filed by Prof Dr Sajjad Mubeen, a candidate for the VC slot, who claimed the merit had been ignored in the selection process.

The court referred the matter to secretary, Industry and Commerce, and asked him to decide the matter after hearing the stance of the petitioner.
