LAHORE - The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday allowed a transgender to take part in Punjab Public Service Commission’s (PPSC) examination for the post of lecturer.
The court directed transgender Fayyazullah to re-submit the application to the commission for the purpose.
Justice Faisal Zaman Khan passed the orders on a petition filed by transgender Fayyazullah challenging the recruitment policy for the posts of lectures.
At the outset of proceedings, the court questioned counsel for PPSC as to why the commission did not accept the application of Fayyazullah for the post of lecturer.
To this, the counsel replied that only males and females were eligible for the posts.
However, the commission did not have objection if the Higher Education Department (HED) allowed it, he added.
