Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa said that the said Martial Law Order was repealed by an Act of Parliament in 1989. He further said that there was a 1993 judgment of the Supreme Court which only disapproved students' indulgence in politics but at the same time allowed and appreciated the existence of an elected body of students for addressing their issues and arranging their co-curricular activities. Senate of Pakistan also passed a unanimous Resolution 335 in 2017 on this subject. The Registrar read the text of the said Resolution. The Vice Chancellor and other members also supported the said Resolution. The house, then, unanimously decided to revive the Students' Union, which will be the elected body of all students of QAU. For making a detailed proposal about modalities of elections and other relevant issues, a Committee was constituted comprising the Registrar and the Director School of Law. The said Committee will study the earlier practice and rules as well as the contemporary best practices in the world, such as the Oxford Union, and will submit its report to the Syndicate in two weeks.
