LAHORE: The Lahore High Court Friday set aside a decision of the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) for cancellation of admissions in several private medical and dental colleges for session 2020-21. The PMC had contended that admission process for the respective medical colleges were tainted, in violation of the admission regulations and that the interview process was not transparent. The Commission said it had received complaints about irregularities in the process of the admissions. The students had challenged the decision pleading that on the basis of a general order, their rights with respect to admission in medical colleges had been prejudiced and they had not been heard by the PMC before making the impugned decision.
