Judgment text as reported

NAWAL VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN arts. 25 & 199---Educational institution---admission to medical college---Discrimination---Petitioners/candidates were aggrieved of eligibility criteria determined for admissions to Medical College for Overseas Pakistanis and others---Validity---Classification for candidates who had studied abroad for a mere 2-year period, no matter where that may be, were considered to be at an academic advantage compared to candidates who had acquired their education in Pakistan---Such classification amounted to a damning indictment of the overall state of education in country---While a distinction might be drawn for purposes of admission between local Pakistanis and persons who are overseas Pakistanis, the latter genre cannot be broadened vide impugned classification in question merely on the basis of two-years of foreign education, so as to encompass persons who are Pakistani citizens and otherwise possess qualifications and thus preclude them from applying for general merit seats---High Court set aside classification in question as the same was unreasonable and could not be introduced in the prospectus as a device to put an otherwise eligible Pakistani citizen beyond the pale of consideration---Constitutional petition was allowed in circumstances.
