The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday directed federal authorities and High Education Commission (HEC) to submit comments on two identical petitions challenging the establishment of Sindh Higher Education Commission by Sindh government. A division bench headed by Chief Justice Maqbool Baqar also directed federal and provincial law officers to reply to two petitions and adjourned the hearing till April 04.
One of the petitions was jointly filed by former chief of the Higher Education Commission Dr Attaur Rehman and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Marvi Memon. Another petition was filed by Pak-China Foundation, a non-governmental organisation. The petitioners submitted that the new law was a move to avoid verification process of lawmakers' degrees which the federal Higher Education Commission had initiated on the orders of the Election Commission of Pakistan.
