Judgment text as reported

RIDA FATIMA VS PAKISTAN MEDICAL COMMISSION S. 18---Pakistan Medical Commission Conduct of Examination Regulations, 2021, Reglns. 3 & 4---General Clauses Act (X of 1897), S. 13---Medical and Dental Colleges Admissions Test---Eligibility for MDCAT and attempts---Scope---Regulations 3 & 4 of Pakistan Medical Commission Conduct of Examination Regulations, 2021, when read in juxtaposition to S. 18 of the Pakistan Medical Commission Act, 2020, do not portray any of the violations, which are necessary to strike down a piece of delegated legislation---Regulations are well within the object and purpose of the Act and do not deviate or run contrary or beyond the mandate of S. 18 of the Act nor are they inconsistent or derogatory to the fundamental rights as guaranteed under the Constitution---Expression "single admission test" as used in S. 18 does not mean that such examination is to be conducted on a single day throughout the country rather the context of the provision clearly spell out the object of such condition as to enable an eligible candidate to participate in such an annually conducted examination only "single time in a year" and not specifically " on a single day throughout the country" because the intent and context of S. 18 provides the principle which is more of a substance and less of a form---Even otherwise, S. 13 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, also states that unless the subject or context dictates otherwise, the words used in singular shall include the plural and vice versa.
