Prof. Abdullah Shah, who at the time was serving as vice-principal of Sadiq, was appointed interim-principal. Unfortunately the school went through a difficult period during his supervision as he gained disapproval with parents because of the decision of fee increase (although this was reversed in a lawsuit filed by the parents) and there were several reports of conflicts with faculty and staff members. Allegedly due to political reasons, several office holding staff members were swapped or replaced. The school faced a crisis of mismanagement and degrading academic performance and unfortunately he was replaced soon as well.
