Chief Justice of Pakistan(CJP), Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on Sunday ordered to form a committee to review substandard and unregistered law colleges.
CJP hearing a suo-motu case at the Supreme Court’s Lahore Registry directed formation of a committee to probe the situation and submit a report in six weeks.
During the hearing, the chief justice remarked that last night he saw a picture of getting a BA degree in one night, adding that, “this standard of education will not be allowed to continue”.
Earlier on Saturday, the court had barred all public sector universities from granting affiliation to new law colleges that fail to meet standards.
“We do not want lawyers who run paan shops in the morning and later get law degrees,” the chief justice had remarked during the hearing.
CJP observed that universities have come up with their own educational system, and are doing “whatever they feel like”.
The apex court has constituted a committee headed by Advocate Hamid Khan to supervise reforms regarding the matter.
