Mr. Manzoor Hussain Larik files vakalatnama on behalf of respondents-University.

All learned counsel have agreed that the admission policy include 5% advocates’ sons and daughters quota in LL.B programme be it for three years or five years. Mr. Manzoor Hussain Larik, learned counsel appearing for the University recognized the advocates’ son quota. He concedes that he would be presenting the merit list as well as the list of the advocates’ sons and daughters. Under the scheme of admission, the respective colleges were supposed to send the two lists; first list in respect of merit of the students whereas the other in respect of the advocates’ sons and daughters and amongst them also a merit is to be maintained. Such lists and process were required to be tendered and completed within cutoff date and in accordance with law, including but not limited to Rule 4 of Pakistan Bar Council Legal Education Rules 2015 which is claimed to be regulatory authority for all the Law Colleges in Pakistan. Had it been done by the colleges, the University may consider it in accordance with law while recognizing the advocates’ son quota. While maintaining the admission policy of sons / daughters quota of the advocates, the guideline as provided by Hon'ble Supreme Court including the cutoff date should also be taken into consideration.

Both petitions and listed application stand disposed of in the above terms
