Additionally, the main objectives of the police is to apprehend offenders, investigate crimes, and prosecute them before the Courts, also to prevent the commission of crime, and above all, ensure law and order to protect citizens' lives and property. The law enjoins the police to be scrupulously fair to the offender and the Magistracy is to ensure a fair investigation and fair trial for an offender. Unfortunately, these objectives have remained unfulfilled. Deviations of police officers and police excesses in dealing with the law and order situation have been the subject of adverse comments from this Court as well as from other Courts, but they have failed to have any corrective effect on it. The police have the power to arrest a person even without obtaining a warrant of arrest from a Court for cognizable offenses. The presence of this power casts an obligation on the police, and they must bear in mind, as held by this Court from time to time in its various pronouncemnts, that if a person is arrested for a crime, his constitutional and fundamental rights must not be violated. Primarily, the Police Officers are required to protect and not abduct.

Coming to the case in hand, it appears that the Ayyan Ali case supra establishes that mere criminal involvement does not justify ECL placement, which confirms that citizens have a fundamental right to liberty under Article 9, which, combined with Articles 4 and 15, includes the right to travel, unless restricted by a law enacted in the public interest. Numerous judgments have affirmed that the mere registration of a crime does not constitute a "public interest" justification for restricting a person's liberty. Therefore, the Respondent's actions in placing the Petitioner's name on the ECL based on the criminal case are inconsistent with established legal principles. Consequently, this petition must be allowed

So far as Upgradation??? is concerned, it is distinct from promotion. In Regional Commissioner Income Tax and another v. Syed Munawar Ali and others (2016 SCMR 859), the Supreme Court of Pakistan held that ???upgradation??? is not defined in the Civil Servants Act or the Rules framed thereunder. It applies to the posts and not the person occupying them. In Federal Public Service Commission v. Anwar-ul-Haq and others (2017 SCMR 890), the apex Court held that upgradation is carried out without necessarily creating posts in the relevant pay scales. It is done under a policy and a specific scheme. It is exclusively used for incumbents of isolated positions with no other advancement options, and its purpose is to overcome the issue of their stagnation and frustration. The Supreme Court's explanation from Fida Muhammad v. Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and others (2021 SCMR 1895), clearly distinguished between up-gradation and promotion. Promotion involves a move to a higher position with increased responsibilities and rank. Upgradation, on the other hand, provides financial relief by placing an employee in a higher pay scale, without changing their job duties or position. It's a mechanism designed to address the stagnation of employees who have remained in the same pay scale for a long time, particularly when they lack opportunities for promotion. Upgradation is a policy tool used to alleviate the hardship of long-term stagnation.
