Provincial Ombudsman Dr Muhammad Sohail Rajput has announced a significant decision in favor of Owais Ahmed Bhayo, a student of Shah Abdul Latif University, safeguarding his precious academic year. Owais Ahmed, a second-semester student of Clinical Pharmacy, was declared as having failed by the university administration, despite his exemplary academic record.
In response to this injustice, Owais Ahmed filed a petition with the provincial ombudsman, prompting a full investigation. The investigation revealed that the university administration had made a grave error in declaring the student as having failed. Following the inquiry, Provincial Ombudsman Dr. Muhammad Sohail Rajput issued strict instructions to the university administration, including the Controller of Examinations, to rectify the mistake and ensure justice in the matter. Acting on the ombudsman’s directives, the university administration reversed its decision and declared Owais Ahmed Bhayo as having passed the Clinical Pharmacy examination, saving him from losing an academic year.
Owais Ahmed expressed his happiness over the decision, thanking the provincial ombudsman and calling it a victory for justice that has allowed him to continue his academic journey. Dr Muhammad Sohail Rajput further instructed the university administration to adopt a fair approach in dealing with students and to ensure the protection of their academic rights to prevent such incidents in the future.
