ORDER

1. ' Through this constitutional petition, petitioner seeks admission in one of the Punjab Medical Colleges on a reserved seat for the tribal areas of Dera Ghazi Khan. According to the petitioner respondent No,5 procured admission in the medical college on the basis of a forged domicile certificate of the said area. Admittedly respondent No,5 on merit was at a higher pedestal than the petitioner. Question of admission of petitioner could only arise when the first question i.e, genuineness of the domicile of respondent No,5 is resolved. Petitioner's case is that the said domicile certificate is based on forged report and record while according to the report of respondent No,4/Issing Authority domicile certificate of respondent No . 5 was correctly issued.

2. Likewise respondent No,5 also claims to be a genuine resident/domicile of the tribal areas of District Dera Ghazi Khan. The question as to whether respondent No,5 is or is not a genuine domicile of the tribal areas is a pure question of fact which cannot be resolved by this court in constitutional jurisdiction. Petitioner, if so advised, may approach the appropriate forum. As observed above, the question of admission would only arise after the issue of domicile is resolved. Disposed of.
