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
In exercise of special powers under Section 13(3) of the University of Sargodha Ordinance 2002
Pharmaceutical Review (Staff Reporter) Brief facts of the case are that the University of Sargodha advertised one post of Professor of Pharmacy (BS-21), with last date for submission of applications as 31 December 2009. Dr. Sajid Bashir applied for the said post. Having fulfilled the pre-requisites such as determination of eligibility and obtaining evaluation reports of local and foreign referees, the case was placed before the Selection Board in its meeting dated 20- 21 March 2012. The Selection Board recommended Dr. Sajid Bashir for his appointment as Professor of Pharmacy (BS-21). The Vice Chancellor, in exercise of powers under Section 13(3) of the University of Sargodha Ordinance 2002, appointed Dr. Sajid Bashir as Professor of Pharmacy (BS-21) vide Notification dated 22″4 March 2012. The Syndicate approved recommendations of the Selection Board in its meeting held on 9th July 2012.
So, in exercise of special powers under Section 13(3) of the University of Sargodha Ordinance 2002, this stupid culprit was illegally appointed as Professor of Pharmacy. Fundamental goal was to use him as potential instrument of particular objectives in different academic and administrative areas.

Pharmaceutical Review (Staff Reporter). The Provincial Quality Control Board (PQCB) Punjab was established with major objective of to assist in public health, drug administration and legal matters. They follow the cases under trial and defend PQCB orders in writ petitions. The answers filed and submitted as reports and para-wise comments in writ petitions on behalf of the Board. Additionally, the Provincial Quality Control Board, Punjab is a quasi-judicial body established under section 11 of Drug Act 1976 and the rules framed thereunder. It has been functioning since 1980s
Unluckily, A good peace of fraudulence, innovative model of corruption, and useless crape is taken board member of Provincial Quality Control Board (PQCB) Punjab. That is a serious alarm to public health in Pakistan. This culprit Mr. Sajid Bashir has been taken member of PQCB Punjab after his successful corruption in University of Sargodha.
The seat of professor of pharmacy was advertised on November 1, 2009 in Daily Jung, bearing last date December 31, 2009, under which the said professor was selected. The criteria were also given as per guidelines of HEC Islamabad. In selection of professor, the external expert reports have key value to comply with criteria. Therefore, university did not give me access to the requested information to protect the illegal appointment. However, I obtained the reports from another source (copies attached Annexure 6). Both of the foreign reports did not support the appointment of candidate as professor in university of Sargodha as under,
Sverre Arne Sande, Professor of Pharmaceutics and Social Pharmacy, Sem Sælands vei 3 Farmasibygningen 0371 Oslo stated in his decision (conclusion) that “reports and short communications can not be considered as research publication. In this case, he (culprit Mr. Sajid Bashir) do not comply neither with the requirement for the total publications, nor with the requirement for publication during the last five years. If one or more the publication in journals of unknown status should turn out to be recognized by HEC, he will comply the requirement for number of publication during the last 5 years, but the total number will still be too low”.
Dr. Hohamed Azmi Ahmad Hassali, Associate Professor, Programme Chair, Discipline of Social and Administrative Pharmacy, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang, Malaysia was associate professor at that time. He can not evaluate the candidate for the appointment as professor. One step lower expert automatically disqualified to examine the credibility of a candidate of higher (professorship) position. Secondly, Dr. Hohamed Azmi has worked with candidate (Sajid Bashir) during September 2009 – November 2009 to complete a cross-sectional, observational study entitled “Association between knowledge and drug adherence in patients with hypertension in Quetta, Pakistan”. Both of them (candidate and evaluator) have published their research article in “Tropical Journal of Pharmaceutical Research” April 2011; 10(2): 125-132. This is potential conflict of interest and automatically disqualifies the appointed of expert Hohamed Azmi Ahmad Hassali as foreign exprt. His evaluation also null and vided on behalf of his explicit predefined relationship with candidate.
The administration misinterpret, concealed the facts and hided the real information. Thus, candidate started project on September 2009 and completed on November 2009; before the advertised closing date December 31, 2009 of university of Sargodha. Then was, followed by revised accepted on January 12, 2011 and finally published on April 20, 2011. The screen shots are attached in Annexure 7 and web links are as under,
Pharmaceutical Review (Staff Reporter). The procedure of the Provincial Quality Control Board (PQCB) Punjab Pakistan is applicable to all administrative and Regulatory wings. Thus, under the scope of integrated management system, which may directly or indirectly involve in providing services to the public or other Interest parties.
Unluckily, the competent authority of Provincial Quality Control Board (PQCB) Punjab has engaged a culprit Mr. Sajid Bashir, and taken as Board Member. This innovative international model of corruption and deception has played major role to purchase the substandard and used machinery for University of Sargodha Pharmaceutical Laboratories. The equipment’s were purchased from VarioTech, Plot 9, Industrial Area, Saggian Bypass, Lahore under the purchase order numbers,
UOS/RC/11-412 dated 21.03.2011

Manufacturing license No. 000859/167 dated 12.06.2017 granted by Chairman Central Licensing Board, Government of Pakistan under the Drug Act 1976. Unluckily, the potential profitable and excellent drug manufacturing project of approximately Rs. 0.8 billion was failed because of the corruption of aforesaid officer. The granted license was then voluntarily surrendered by University of Sargodha under letter No. UOS/PIU/1666 dated November 19, 2018, and facility was shut downed (DRAP letter dated March 13, 2019, attached). So, a strict disciplinary action against the corruption of the Dean Pharmacy, University of Sargodha is requested. The damage should be recovered from the culprit.
Pharmaceutical Review (Staff Reporter). The Provincial Quality Control Board, Punjab was established under section 11 of Drug Act 1976 and the rules framed thereunder. It has been functioning since 1980s. The Procedure for Scrutiny of Cases provides guidance to the staff on how a cases file is scrutinized and prepared for placing in the Board Meeting. This SOP sets a criterion on which every case file is judged, and it is determined that whether the case is healthy for placing in Board meeting or not.
The poor performance of this prestigious institution of PQCB (Pb) can be recognized and identified by the appointment of an amazing model to corruption Dr. Sajid Bashir as Board Member PQCB, Punjab Pakistan. That confirm and endorse the substandard pharmaceutical implantation of standard policies and procedures. This stupid culprit has cheated University of Sargodha by obtaining his evaluation report from one of the Co-Author of his article. That is not only potential conflict of interest but also an illegal, unethical and unacceptable act. The Malaysian Associate professor report and article published is attached here for the evidence of the fraud of this stupid culprit.

.
Unluckily, this prestigious institution has taken a deceiver as Board Member of Provincial Quality Control Board. This culprit has deceived the administration of University of Sargodha successfully by obtaining his evaluation report from a Malaysian Associate professor for the appointment as professor. As per rule and academic ethics, the lower ranked person can’t examine the candidate for position higher than his current appointment. So, the private education mafia and pharmaceutical regulating authorities are potentially hurting the standards in Pakistan.

The PQCB Core Team comprise of Mr. Ali Jan Khan Secretary, P&SHD Chairperson, PQCB; Mr. Muhammad Iqbal Special Secretary (Operations) Vice Chairperson and Mr. Muhammad Munawar Hayat Secretary, PQCB.
Unluckily, they also have a fraudulent culprit Mr. Sajid Bashir; taken as board member of this prestigious institution. This stupid culprit has successfully failed the drug manufacturing project worth of approximately 0.8 billion, after 18 years of its deployment.
This selection confirm the poor recruitment procedure of it board members. The appointing authorities and search committee should be asked the fundamental criterial. Because his entire history is full of corruption, misleading and frauds, particularly in the University of Sargodha. The pharmacist community demand the prompt removal this culprit. That will help to improve the public health and performance of public department of Government of the Punjab.
