Afghan students who were not granted admission before September 1, 2026, have also been instructed to leave Pakistan by October 10.
The court ordered the university to restore the students’ access and ensure their education is not disrupted before the next hearing.
The students’ lawyer argued that the PMDC decisions were issued without prior notice and conflicted with the NOCs previously granted by the HEC.
The move comes as Afghan medical students continue to challenge PMDC directives that could affect their ability to continue their studies in Pakistan.
The latest order means the 13 students cannot be expelled while the court considers their petitions and awaits responses from the relevant authorities.
Speaking at a government press conference in Kabul, Mujahid called on Pakistan to allow Afghan students to remain in the country and complete their studies.
The decision comes amid deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan and Islamabad’s wider campaign to repatriate Afghan nationals.
