KARACHI, Dec 5: The Sindh High Court on Tuesday issued notices for December 12 in five more petitions questioning the results of entry test held on October 8 for admission to the Dow University of Health Sciences in MBBS and BDS programmes.

The petitions came up before a division bench comprising Chief Justice Sabihudin Ahmed and Justice Faisal Arab. The bench, which is already seized of a number of identical petitions moved earlier, fixed December 12 for consolidated hearing.

The petitioners have requested the court through Advocates Ghulam Qadir Jatoi and Minhaj Farooqui to cancel the impugned entry test results and order a fresh one under supervision of an independent body. Some of the petitioners have particularly objected to some multiple choice questions as being ‘out of syllabus’. The National Testing Service, the department of health and DUHS have been cited as respondents.
