NUST Law School Students Win Pakistan’s First-Ever “Rewiring Rights: Hackathon for Justice”

A moment of immense pride and joy as Muhammad Numan Umar, a 2nd-year student at NUST Law School, along with his team HUKM, emerged as winners of Pakistan’s first-ever “Rewiring Rights: Hackathon for Justice” — a national-level initiative jointly organised by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the European Union (EU).

Competing among 150 teams from across Pakistan, Team HUKM comprising Muhammad Numan Umar, Minahil Rukhsar (SQA Engineer at NSTP–NUST), Faiza Mazhar, and Maryam Rukhsar secured 1st position and received a PKR 150,000 cash prize, awarded by Federal Minister for Law, Barrister Aqeel Malik, along with a development grant to build a real-world, user-friendly web portal for the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

Congratulations to Numan (LLB-24) and his team for this remarkable milestone, a proud reflection of NUST Law School’s spirit of excellence and its contribution to shaping Pakistan’s justice and technology landscape!
