A petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) challenging the sharp increase in fees charged by private medical colleges across Punjab.

Punjab Assembly member Mohammad Ejaz Shafi, the Judicial Activism Panel, and other petitioners filed the plea against the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) and several private medical colleges, according to reports aired by 24NewsHD TV.

The petition states that the hefty fee surge has made medical education unaffordable for many deserving students, limiting their chances of securing admission in private medical institutions.

The petitioners urged the court to direct the PMDC to withdraw the additional charges imposed on students. They also requested strict action against private medical colleges that allegedly collected excessive fees.

The case highlights growing concerns over rising educational costs and their impact on students seeking medical education in Pakistan.
