In the captioned Petition bearing No.D-1970 of 2019, the only issue involved is the issuance of two Corrigendum dated 11.03.2019 & 16.6.2019 respectively relating to advertisement . The Petitioner has assailed the legality of the above-specified Corrigendum whereby Respondent-Board changed the academic qualification of candidates as well as the upper age limit from 62 to 65 years for the post of Vice-Chancellor of Peoples University . We in the aforesaid circumstances hold that the recommendation of the Search Committee to the competent authority for the appointment of Vice-Chancellor PUMHSW, Shaheed Benazirabad in pursuance of corrigendum as discussed supra was without lawful authority and awarding marks to the candidates by the Search Committee is also held to be against the clear command of the Honorable Supreme Court in the cases discussed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we direct the Search Committee /competent authority to hold a fresh interview of the shortlisted candidates made before the issuance of corrigendum and make recommendation to the competent authority for the appointment of Vice-Chancellor, PUMHSW, petitions are disposed of.
