BOARD OF INTERMEDIATE AND SECONDARY EDUCATION, LAHORE through Chairman and 2 others vs ILYAS MEHMOOD NIZAMI
This matter arises from a petition for leave to appeal filed by the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Lahore against the High Court's order summoning an examiner along with answer books. The core legal question concerns the propriety of the High Court's direction to summon examiners and educational answer books in light of established precedent. Granting leave to appeal, the Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in issuing such a direction, relying on the principle established in Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Lahore v. Saima Azad (1996 SCMR 676). Consequently, the operation of the impugned order was suspended pending the appeal.
- Whether the High Court is justified in summoning an examiner along with answer books in educational matters?
- Does the principle in Saima Azad's case prohibit the summoning of answer books by the High Court?
