The Sindh High Court (SHC) has asked the University of Karachi to clarify its position regarding the lack of lecturers with Ph.D. degrees in its Department of Law.
A two-member bench heard a petition pertaining to the non-availability of Ph.D. qualified teachers in the department.
A representative of the Higher Education Commission (HEC), also a party in the case, replied that a university department must have at least two faculty members with Ph.D. degrees.
“A university degree that does not meet this requirement is not recognized,” the official stated.
