Wajeha Urooj, a 2001 MA English student at Punjab University, was deemed a failure in her final exam due to her absence on one paper. Wajeeha Uroog found this to be both surprising and deeply troubling given that she had successfully completed all of the assignments and appeared in all of the papers. She had the impression that the university might have made a mistake.
With her father, she made it to the examination department and presented her case to the appropriate officer. She asked Wajiha’s father, “What do you know?,” rather than conducting an investigation or providing relief. Under the guise of the exam, where did the daughter go?
This sentence fell like a bomb on the heads of Wajiha and his dad and they stayed as though they were hard of hearing. The university refused to recognize the error and award a degree. The speech was delivered in front of the entire office, and it quickly spread throughout the university, prompting everyone to conclude that Wajiha was wrong and the university was right. Wajiha’s life became like that of a cheat. She remained sinful and suspicious in the eyes of her own family and society by remaining silent.
He chose to move toward the court and recorded a body of evidence against the college. The court would decide the matter after two to three appearances by requesting the students’ attendance sheets and a record of the papers that were distributed and returned. However, the case became longer than the devil’s bowels. Wajihia tied the knot, moved to Canada, had two kids, and the case went on.
Finally, in 2017, after 17 years, the Lahore High Court found the Punjab University guilty, requiring it to award Wajiha Urooj a degree and compensate him with Rs 8 lakh in damages. Wajiha said in an interview with the BBC that he was sad and that that degree no longer serves him. She wanted a PhD after completing her Masters 17 years ago. All of her plans and hopes were dashed, and she wanted to live her life on her own terms. She had spent in excess of eight lakhs in these seventeen years on this case so the college could disprove the allegations against her and stand out as truly newsworthy. For seventeen years, that one sentence has killed her every day.
It does not qualify as justice. We are annihilating our people in the future with our own hands. In addition, they are teaching them that every sin, including lying, corruption, robbery, theft, murder, and hooliganism, can be forgiven in Pakistani courts. But truth and justice will never prevail. Why didn’t heavenly discipline happen upon us?
These tremors, torrential downpours, and especially the rising number of wrongdoings and crimes in society
We invested a ton of energy. However, our young children. Have you ever considered the group to which they will belong? We beg Allah’s forgiveness.
