The University of Karachi through a series of official lettersexposed Islamabad High Court Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri's degree as allegedly fake.

According to detailed reports, Justice Jahangiri had acquired his LL.B degree from the University of Karachi via Government Islamia Law College in 1991, but under suspicious circumstances involving two different enrollment numbers.

Justice Jahangiri initially passed LL.B Part One in 1989 under Enrollment No. AIL 5968, registered in the name of Tariq Jahangiri, son of Muhammad Akram. Subsequently, he passed LL.B Part Two in 1991 with Enrollment No. AIL 7124/87, listed as Tariq Mehmood, son of Qazi Muhammad Akram.

However, the university records indicate that Enrollment No. AIL 5968 was originally assigned to Imtiaz Ahmad, son of Muhammad Elahia. The same enrollment number and the second number, AIL 7124, were fraudulently used under the names Tariq Mehmood and Tariq Jahangiri.

On May 23, 2024, the University of Karachi received an application requesting verification of the LL.B degree associated with the two enrollment numbers belonging to Tariq Mehmood. Upon investigation, it was confirmed on June 4, 2024, that Enrollment No. AIL 5968 was actually issued to Imtiaz Ahmed.

Further scrutiny revealed inconsistencies in the mark sheets. The roll number 4069 for LL.B Part One was issued to Tariq Jahangir, while Enrollment No. 7142 and roll number 22857 for LL.B Part Two were allocated to Tariq Mehmood. Top sources within the University of Karachi have verified these discrepancies in their official communications.

According to university protocols, each student is assigned a unique enrollment number for their degree, further corroborating the anomalies in Justice Jahangiri’s academic records.
