Overview

• SHC suspended Karachi University’s notification canceling Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri’s LLB and restrained the Syndicate and Unfair Means Committee from further action.
• The bench questioned whether the judge was given notice and said ex parte decisions carry little legal weight when a person’s lifelong work is at stake.
• Karachi University’s registrar told the court he received notice only recently and sought time to respond, which the court granted.
• Separately, Justice Jahangiri has petitioned the Supreme Court to annul the SHC’s September 25 order, arguing he was not impleaded and was denied a hearing.
• The case is adjourned to November 20, with related disciplinary matters reported to be pending before the Supreme Judicial Council.
