A division bench of the Lahore High Court on Thursday reserved its verdict in a petition challenging the reappointment of Malik Hussain Mubashar as vice chancellor of the University of Health Sciences (UHS). Earlier, the petitioner counsel, Nasir Mehmood Qureshi, has submitted a case that the UHS was an autonomous body, which was established under "The University of Health Sciences, Lahore Ordinance, 2002".
He said at that time pursuant, according to Section 12 Ordinance, respondent Malik Mubashar was appointed as vice chancellor on April 12, 2003. The counsel pointed out that Section 12(5) of the Ordinance said that any person, who was not eligible to be appointed as professor, was disqualified for appointment as vice-chancellor. He said the respondent after attaining age of retirement on July 31, 2005 was not eligible to meet criteria for his appointment as vice chancellor, so his presence in office was without lawful authority.
