A three-member bench of the top court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial presided over the case on Monday.

Earlier, Lahore High Court (LHC) had also dismissed an identical petition filed by the expelled student.
The petitioner’s lawyer maintained that the school could not expel the student permanently. At this, Justice Qazi Amin Ahmed said, “The teachers have a distinct position in our society. They are the best judges.”
He added that an educator does not become an enemy if he forbids to do anything.
He remarked that children should be raised such that they know of being answerable to the teachers. “If the verdict comes in favour of the student, he would go to school and say that the supreme court has prohibited to say anything to him,” Justice Ahmed said.

CJP Bandial said it is possible to get education at homes too but schools have been made to discipline the children. He added the parents were unhappy with online classes as the children were getting undisciplined at home.
He said a child learns discipline and conduct when he gets ready in the morning and goes to school.
The court disposed of the case by rejecting the student’s petition for readmission.
