ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Friday reserved its judgement on a petition seeking registration of private medical colleges with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).
Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb reserved the decision after the two sides concluded their arguments in the case.
During the course of the hearing, the bench noted that the PM&DC had withdrawn all decisions of the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC).
The PMDC lawyer said the colleges recently registered by the PMC did not meet the standard and procedure of the PMDC. He said that there was permission of 100 students in private college and 300 in government college. To this, the bench said the PMDC being a regulator was entitled to take decision in that regard.
The bench expressed concern over the future of students admitted in those colleges and directed the council to view the matter on merit.The PMDC lawyer said the council did not accept the temporary regulation, adding that a number of students were studying in those colleges while the council had not conducted its inspection so far.
