A woman of Pakistani origin, currently residing in Canada has won a 17-year legal battle against Punjab University (PU), the BBC reported on Tuesday.
In its judgement, the Lahore High Court ordered the university to pay Rs800,000 in damages to Wajiha Arooj, 38, who had sued the university for damaging her reputation.
Arooj had sought action against the university almost two decades ago when an error brought her disrepute and impacted the course of her life.
While studying for her master's degree in English at the university, Arooj was wrongly marked absent for an exam and told that she had failed.
Following the error, one university official's suggestion to Arooj's father that he was unaware of his daughter's "activities" triggered gossip and speculation within the university campus and inside her home.
"Even my mother looked at me in a strange way, with doubt in her eyes," Arooj said, speaking to the BBC.
Arooj recalled that while her classmates' taunts made it difficult for her to face them, her family refused to let her attend evening classes at the university.
"Gossiping in the classroom, they would mockingly say that one can go anywhere on the pretext of taking an exam. And they would make sure that I could hear them," Arooj said.
"At one point I was so distressed I even considered committing suicide," she added.
Following the incident, her family, fearing for her reputation, had married her off and Arooj moved to Canada with her husband. Her dreams of finishing her education and starting a career never came true.
However, the trial continued in the Lahore High Court, with the university challenging the case several times.
The court's ruling in Arooj's favour was also challenged, but upheld by an appeals court earlier this month.
PU still holds the right to challenge the appeal court's decision.
A university spokesperson, Khurrum Shehzad, told the BBC that the administration would first look into the court's detailed verdict as it was an old case.
"We will see if the student is in the right, [then] we will definitely comply with court orders. If we feel the university was in the right, we will contest the order on the next available legal platform," the spokesperson said.

I read same news on BBC website. The report also included that her exam paper was shown as evidence to the court that she did take her exam, contrary to the claim that she was absent. The question arises, to whom the marks were actually awarded if the paper was found later? The absentee student must be someone else who played with Arooj's life.

As I said, Pak is on the right track and this is a good example set by the courts. Unless severe punishments i.e. fines and penalties (jail time) is carried out no one will be afraid of the law.
It is time to strengthen laws and their enforcement and bring everyone under the purview of the law i.e. Generals, PM, CM, judges, police, party leaders, Mullahs etc and abolish VIP culture. Once the supremacy of the law is restored and swift justice is carried out then all things will automatically fall into their rightful place.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Regardless of the decision, justice was never served to her.

@The end is near . I agree with you that our judicial system needs general overhaul and much needed reforms. 17 years is a long time to decide a simple case. This is almost one fourth of a person,s life.In US and other advanced countries civil cases are decided within 1-2 years and criminal cases within one year. To me this verdict is half justice because it did not held accountable the person who tried to ruin her life. In my mind this case is far from over because this criminal is still running around ruining other students lives.Most people accept the fate and give up due to lack of resources and time. I don,t know the reasons for his criminal behavior but do believe that she was not his only victim.Will this case bring any changes in our school policies/ procedures to resolve student complaints/ grievances quickly or our politicians/govt will introduce new laws to alleviate this problem? I doubt very much anything will change, the politicians are too busy accepting bribes.

When people start living in USA/Canada the very first thing they learn is to sue someone.

Rs. 800,000 is a petty amount for this kind of ordeal. Some high ups should look into into this case and make the University apologise and pay up.

I won against PU in MBBS exam 25 years ago. Their invigilator had detached answers because candidates were being rude to him.

From this side of the story it is very sad that university is still not ready to admit mistake.
Moreover she should also be granted the degree she was try to get.

@mohinder That is reason why these universities have no global ranking.

This test case for sure provides a ray of hope for those hapless and helpless plaintiffs and respondents standing in the line and left at the mercy of one of the slowest civil court systems of in the world i general and South Asia in particular.
As said by Milton, "they also serve, who stand and wait."
My message to Ms. Arooj at this crucial juncture in time and history is to "keep it up and hang on tough."
You may re-start the pursuit of your higher education goals and objectives any time and any where irrespective of your age because "where there is a will, there is definitely a way."

@an observer
The real concern should be the fellow students, apparently well educated, belonging to well off class in Pakistan Wow. It shows the depravity of our educated class.
There were students in the university who knew the truth. What did they do ?
