The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday summoned the examination record of Farah Hameed Dogar in a review petition against awarding of extra marks to her. A division-bench of the court comprising Justice Munir Paracha and Justice Raja Saeed Akram gave the directives while hearing two identical review petitions of Iftikhar Hussain Rajput and Azam Sultan Puri against the judgement declaring award of extra marks to Farah Dogar as legal.
The court adjourned the hearing till February 11. Earlier, the single member bench of Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad had dismissed the appeals filed against the federal board regarding Farah Hameed Dogar case. The court had described the decision of reassessment and rechecking of Farha's marks as correct and lawful.
Former Attorney General, Malik Qayyum appeared on behalf of Farah Hameed Dogar pleading that the examination marks could be reassessed. Iftikhar Hussain Rajput in his review said that the counsels of federal board and Farah Hameed Dogar gave incorrect facts so the case should be reheard.
