Justice Khalid Ishaq made the decision following petitions filed by Professor Ehsan Qadir Bhaba and others. The court directed the university syndicate to investigate the hiring process of all 228 individuals, from entry-level staff to professors. The legality, merit and transparency of each appointment are to be scrutinized. The 228 people involved will be granted the chance to present their case during the inquiry.
