The counsel stated that since this was a generic order, therefore, needed to be enforced by all the private medical colleges. The bench said though they had not been able to identify whether the respondent was a party to the proceedings or otherwise nor the Regulator were before it.

The court said, subject to all just exception and without prejudice to the rights of the respondent (Rashid Latif (Proprietor) Rashid Latif Medical College) issued notices to the respondent, the PMDC as well as the Attorney General for Pakistan.

The counsel earlier given undertaking that if at all they were not able to satisfy that the respondent was privy to the orders of this Court, they will bear the legal cost as may be incurred in the matter. The case was adjourned for an indefinite period.
