ORDER

' RANA BHAGWANDAS, J.---The petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the judgment, dated 31-12- 2001 of the Lahore High Court, Lahore, dismissing Writ Petition No,21740 of 2001 filed by him.

2. Petitioner impugned the condition fixing 25 years as the maximum age limit for a candidate to seek admission in the Medical Colleges of Punjab in the latest Prospectus but he was non-suited, hence this petition for leave to appeal.

3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and examined the impugned order which enunciated correct position of law. Petitioner by getting admission in F.Sc with Biology and Science subjects neither A acquired any vested right to admission in M.B.B.S. Nor were the authorities debarred from prescribing maximum age limit for admission to such course of studies. This is purely an administrative matter relating to policy decision of the Government with which the superior Courts are always reluctant to interfere. In our view, there is no merit in this petition and the High Court has rightly referred to the dictum of this Court in Sultana Khokhar versus The University of the Punjab, through its Registrar (PLD 1962 SC 35), which clinches the issue under controversy.

4. Resultantly, the petition fails and is hereby dismissed. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
