LARKANA: The Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University (SMBBMU) on Tuesday claimed to have been allowed by the Sindh High Court to give admission to a batch of 50 students in the current academic year of the Bibi Aseefa Dental College (BADC), Larkana.

A spokesman for the university, Abdul Samad Bhatti, in an email sent to Dawn on Tuesday said that the university had filed a petition at the high court’s principal seat in Karachi seeking permission for the BADC batch intake.

The petitioner relied on the order passed by the SHC in the identical case of the Jinnah Sindh Medical University, he said, adding that the division bench comprising Justice Munib Akhtar and Arshad Hussain Khan in its interim order allowed the university to take in the new batch.
