Pharmaceutical Review (Staff Reporter). A writ petition was filed in Lahore High Court Lahore to challenge the illegal appointment of Sajid Bashir as Professor of Pharmacy (BS-21) in University of Sargodha, Pakistan. During the course of hearing, the petitioner contended that foreign referee namely

Prof. Severre Arne Sande from Oslo University of Norway clearly mentioned in his report that Dr. Sajid Bashir did not possess required number of 15 research publications; a pre-requisite for appointment as Professor of Pharmacy (BS-21). The petitioner, therefore, claimed that Dr. Sajid Bashir was not eligible for appointment as Professor of Pharmacy (BS-21), as he was deficient on criterion of required number of research publications. The second foreign referee namely Muhammad Azmi Ahmad Hassali was research collaborator of Dr. Sajid Bashir. He, therefore, should not have been selected as foreign referee to evaluate application dossier of his research collaborator. The petitioner termed it a conflict of interest, thus needs to be addressed accordingly.

Unluckily, this culprit, who was illegally selected as Professor of pharmacy is re-appointed as head of Lord College of Pharmacy, Lahore to spoil noble profession of pharmacy in Pakistan
