Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2018	Roshan Ali Kanasiro (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	09-OCT-20	Yes	We may observe here that while deciding bail petitions an elaborate sifting of evidence cannot be made but only a tentative assessment is permissible and a cursory glance of the record shows that all the petitioners in connivance with each other have misappropriated a huge amount of money from the Government from which some amount was recovered through plea bargains. Under these circumstances the interim pre-arrest bail granted to all the petitioners earlier by this court is recalled with immediate effect. We also find that with regard to petitioner Shahenshah Hussain who is seeking his post-arrest bail there is sufficient evidence against him in the shape of documentary evidence which connects him to the commission of offence to which he has been charged and therefore his petition for post-arrest bail is also dismissed.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2021	Muhammad Tanveer (Petitioner) VS M/s Pakistan Steel Mills Corp Ltd and Ors (Respondent)	27-MAY-25	Yes	The petitioner's removal from service, ordered on October 20, 2009, appears unduly severe. This is because the inquiry officer had only recommended a one-stage reduction in pay. Furthermore, the petitioner was acquitted of the charges leveled by the Pakistan Steel Mills against him by a competent court. Given these circumstances, the punishment is disproportionate. Therefore, in the interest of justice, we have decided to change the punishment from removal from service to compulsory retirement, provided the petitioner meets the required length of service. The Pakistan Steel Mills, Ministry of Industry and Production, is directed to implement this change and its consequences within three months. 12. The petition stands disposed of in the above terms.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2024	Naveed Iqbal & Others (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	16-JAN-25	Yes	Sindh Civil Servants, are governed by the Sindh Service Tribunal Act, 1973, generally cannot file Constitutional Petitions (Article 199) for service matters, including termination. This is because the Sindh Service Tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction over service matters, as per Section 3(2) of the Act and Article 212 of the Constitution. The Supreme Court in Azhar Ali Khan Baluch v. Province of Sindh (2015 SCMR 456) held that "Terms and Conditions of Service" fall under the Service Tribunal's jurisdiction. Civil Servants have a remedy before the Sindh Service Tribunal against Dismissal and Appellate Orders.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Zain Ahmed (Petitioner) VS The I.G of Police and Others (Respondent)	15-JAN-25	Yes	In the instant case, the guidelines as set forth would not apply, as the criminal Court has not convicted the petitioner, rather he has been acquitted of the criminal charges based on evidence and it is well-settled law that once the civil servant is acquitted in the criminal case, then on this very charge he cannot be awarded in any punishment by the department and held him disqualified for the post because acquittal for all future purposes. The aforesaid proposition has been set at naught by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of the District Police Officer Mainwali and 2 others v. Amir Abdul Majid, 2021 SCMR 420. 12. There is no denial from the fact that in Government service it is expected that the persons having their character above board, free from any moral stigma, are to be inducted. Verification of character and antecedents is a condition precedent for appointment to a Government service. The candidates must have good character and provide two recent character certificates from unrelated individuals. What is discernible from the above is that the only impediment to being appointed to a Government service is the conviction on an offense involving moral turpitude but involvement, which does not culminate into a proof by conviction, cannot be a way out or guise to do away with the candidature of the petitioner.

The transfer of investigation officers to the Executive branch contradicts the Supreme Court's judgment as their appointment letters as Inspector Investigations limit their transfer and posting to the Executive Branch, is a matter of their terms and conditions of service and is outside the jurisdiction of the court under Article 212 of the Constitution. Therefore, the petitioners cannot be allowed to be transferred from the Investigation wing to perform their service in the Executive Branch of the Police Department. The petition is dismissed as it lacks merit as well.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon

The petitioner asserts that he pursued his legal remedy just after involvement in the FIR lodged by FIA and in the intervening period the respondent dismissed him from service where after he preferred petition No. 2137 of 1992 before this court which was misplaced by the office of this court and an inquiry was conducted by the office, however, the fate of the inquiry could not be brought on record. In the meanwhile he was acquitted of the charges by the trial court vide judgment dated 15.08.2014 as he was accused of criminal breach of trust w.e.f. 31.03.1990 to 29.05.1990 and on similar charges, he was dismissed from the service finally the respondents were bothered to decide the departmental appeal in the year 2016, and then he approached this court immediately, therefore the question of laches did not arise.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2019	Dr. Muhammad Ali Abbasi (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	28-JAN-25	Yes	So far as the stance of the respondent that the claim of annual increases is a policy decision of the provincial government and the KMC has no objection if the provincial releases funds for annual increase annual increases @ Rs. 15% and 10 % for the year 2019-20 and 2020-2021. 9. KMC claims to be an autonomous body and has not adopted the increases, so the petitioner's claim is invalid. The petitioner counters that increases have been paid (per bank statements), and the KMC is obligated to continue them. 10. Without touching the merits of the case of the issue of annual increases in the pensionary emoluments of the petitioner, in terms of policy decision of the provincial government, such annual increase, if permissible in the case of employees of KMC, requires further assessment to be made by the court of plenary jurisdiction. KMC's reluctance due to funding issues and lack of adoption of provincial increases, creates a factual dispute that cannot be resolved in writ jurisdiction, requiring the petitioner to pursue other legal avenues.

If this is the position of the case, these cases need to be referred back to the competent authority within the Respondents' administration. This authority needs to examine the issue of either upgrading the Petitioners' posts or considering them for promotion according to the prevailing recruitment rules, provided they meet the eligibility and fitness criteria for the position as requested, and after providing them an opportunity to be heard if they are still employed in the respondent department. This approach aligns with the Supreme Court's decisions in similar cases as discussed supra. Consequently, these petitions are being disposed of under these specified terms. Let a copy of this order be transmitted to the respondents for compliance.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

The maintainability of a writ petition against the Respondent-Bank is supported by the Supreme Court's judgments in Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited, etc vs. Said Rehman & others (2013 SCMR 642) and Muhammad Rafiullah & others vs. Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited & another (2018 SCMR 598).

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2016	Sarfaraz Ahmed (Petitioner) VS N.B.P and Ors (Respondent)	21-APR-25	Yes	The core issue is whether the Petitioner fulfilled the mandatory five-year service requirement with the respondent bank from his appointment date of March 20, 2010, until his termination letter dated January 19, 2016. Although clause 6.2 of the appointment letter stipulated a five-year service period, which appeared to have been completed by March 2015, this is rendered complex by the regularization of the Petitioner's unauthorized absence from September 8, 2014, to February 12, 2015 (258 days), as unpaid Extraordinary Leave. Furthermore, the Petitioner submitted his resignation on April 27, 2015, to which the respondent bank replied on May 8, 2015, requesting the settlement of liabilities. Given that the five-year term was completed during this period, it seems this clause should not have been invoked. Instead, the Petitioner's resignation could have been accepted. The respondent bank's inaction in this regard, persistently demanding liability clearance under clause 6.2, demonstrates a lack of consideration, ultimately forcing the Petitioner to file the present petition on February 10, 2016. Consequently, this petition is allowed, and the respondent bank is hereby directed to address the Petitioner's resignation and issue a decision within two months from the date of this order and if need to pursue any autstandig liabilities before the court of competent jurisdicition. The contested orders are accordingly overturned.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

They have the jurisdiction to examine the terms of the agreement, hear evidence, and award remedies for breach of contract. The petitioner's claim involving a monetary fine and forfeiture of benefits falls squarely within the purview of civil courts, which can order the recovery of such amounts if deemed unlawful, as the termination of the contract occurred before the Act 2023. 9. Considering the aforementioned facts and circumstances, this petition is dismissed, allowing the petitioner to seek resolution for his grievances through a court with full jurisdiction, in accordance with the law, if he chooses to do so.

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.

If a qualified and senior employee is denied timely consideration by a DPC or Selection Board due to administrative oversight, they have a legitimate expectation for proforma promotion with related benefits. This concept is rooted in the now-omitted Fundamental Rule 17, which allowed for back pay and allowances through proforma promotion for those wrongly prevented from higher posts through no fault of their own. Unjustified delays in proforma promotion cases cause hardship and unnecessary litigation. Competent authorities should establish strict timelines for proforma promotion committees to ensure swift and rational decisions, preventing retired employees from having to seek court intervention for their rightful benefits.

This Court, under Article 199 of the Constitution, cannot order reinstatement of temporary, contract, or ad-hoc employees whose terms had ended with the termination of their contract with allegations. Here the petitioners??? contract was terminated by the order of the majority of the council members in the meeting held on 13.08.2020 and 09.09.2020, as such his contractual period cannot be extended after reaching the age of superannuation.

On the aforesaid proposition, we are guided by the decision of Supreme Court in the case of Shams-ur-Rehman v Military Accountant General 2020 SCMR 188, whereby the Supreme Court by applying the principle of estoppel against the department from recovering the emoluments and benefits from the petitioner. 11. While pension law is not an absolute shield against recovery in cases of overpayment, losses, dues, or misconduct, in this specific case, as the Orderly Allowance had already been paid and acted upon, therefore, the Governor of Sindh's order regarding recovery is set aside, while the rest of the order is maintained. 12.

However, in the present case, the reasons provided for this cancellation, after the promotions' implementation with effect from 2018 with benefits, are vague and lack a legal basis. The claim that the Senate of the respondent university necessitated the recall of the promotion order of the petitioner contradicts the decision of the Court in the reinstatement of the former VC, as pointed out by the parties. The respondents failed to provide justifiable and lawful reasons for reconsidering and cancelling the petitioners' promotions already granted vide Notification dated, acting unilaterally without adhering to legal procedures. It is well-settled law that altering vested rights, including promotions, requires granting the affected parties a meaningful hearing, which the learned counsel conceded was not provided. In our view that separate proceedings ought to have been initiated before recalling the promotion order. Furthermore, legal precedents, including PLD 1992 SC 207, 2007 PLC (C.S) 364 and Capital Development Authority case 2022 SCMR 627, suggest that such a recall may not be permissible.

However, it is for the respondent department to deal with the service issues of the employees in accordance with law in terms of the decision of the Supreme court in the case of Moula Bux Shaikh (2018 SCMR 2098), and a similar matter is currently under consideration by the Supreme Court reported as 2024 SCMR 673, to see the legality of the aforesaid judgment rendered in Moula Bux Shaikh case. Consequently, this Court cannot examine the petitioner's eligibility for promotion in next rank based on their B.Tech degree, as the Supreme Court has already provided a definitive ruling on this matter. However the decision of the secretary Local Government is subject to final out of the supreme court. 9.

This power is reserved for extraordinary situations to ensure justice is served, not to allow injustice to continue. If it is determined that substantial justice has already been achieved between the parties, the Court may choose not to use this discretionary jurisdiction. 9. Since the petitioner has repeatedly challenged the decision before the various forums and the Supreme Court vide order dated 12.3.2020 in S.M.C. No.13/2016 directed him to agitate his claim before the appropriate forum and his representations / appeals have consistently been rejected by all competent authorities, there is no reason to interfere with the findings under Article 199 of the Constitution. 10.

The petitioner, having only submitted an application, does not acquire a vested right to the post. The department's reasons for withdrawal (low enrollment) prima facie are valid and not demonstrably discriminatory. This court also noted that while the petitioner's frustration is understandable, it cannot compel a government department to create or fill a position that it has determined is no longer needed. This court's role is not to manage administrative affairs but to ensure that they are conducted in accordance with the law. In this case, the department's actions, though delayed, appear to be legally justifiable. Consequently, this petitions fails and is dismissed accordingly.

The appeals of the appellants Muhammad Asif Arshad and Muhammad Adil Arshad have not been pressed on merits and they only prayed for reduction of their sentence based on the mitigating circumstances mentioned above. We find such mitigating circumstances to justify a reduction in their sentences. We also consider that the sentences awarded to them were too harsh, therefore, the conviction awarded to them by the trial court is maintained, however, both their sentences are reduced to the time which they have already undergone which includes the additional sentence of imprisonment in default of fine but the fine imposed on them is still outstanding against them which shall be recovered by NAB in accordance with the law. The appellants Muhammad Asif Arshad and Muhammad Adil Arshad are in custody, they are ordered to be released forthwith if not required in any other custody case.

The departmental inquiries for misconduct use a lower standard of proof ('balance of probabilities') compared to criminal trials ('proof beyond reasonable doubt'). The forums for adjudication, principles of evidence, and procedure are also separate and distinct. The decision of one forum cannot have a bearing on the decision of the other forum. On the aforesaid proposition, we are guided by the decision of the Supreme Court in the cases of Dr. Sohail Hassan Khan v. Director General (Research), Livestock and Dairy Development Department, Punjab, Lahore and others (2020 SCMR 1708), (2021 SCMR 420), The District Police Officer, Mianwali and others v.

Effective training and capacity building are essential for its success. The institution should prioritize enhancing capabilities, productivity, and public awareness. Constant litigation hinders progress. A culture of strict adherence to internal rules is necessary for smooth governance and administration. 12. Rule 19.25 mandates that Inspectors, SIs, and ASIs complete courses (A, B, C, and D) for promotion. This training is crucial for capacity building and ensuring officers possess the necessary skills and knowledge for their higher roles. Senior police officers must possess the skills and competencies befitting their rank. Continuous professional development is crucial for all officers.

This court cannot offer relief simply because the absence was brief or otherwise. Interpreting absence from duty as potentially extending to a certain period, improperly rewrites the law on the subject issue, effectively changing the threshold for misconduct. This is an incorrect interpretation. 13. The Supreme Court has held that as soon as the act of misconduct is established and the employee is found guilty after due process of law, it is the prerogative of the employer to decide the quantum of punishment, out of the various penalties provided in law. The casual or unpremeditated observation that the penalty imposed is not proportionate with the seriousness of the act of misconduct is not adequate but the order must show that the competent authority has applied its mind and exercised the discretion in a structured and lawful manner.

(b) Unauthorized absence directly following approved leave, as long as their position isn't permanently filled. If it is, the prior service is lost. (c) Suspension is immediately followed by reinstatement (in the same or a different role), or if the officer dies, retires, or is retired while suspended. (d) Abolition of their position or job loss due to staff reduction. (e) Transfer by a competent authority to non-pensionable service within government control (voluntary resignation from pensionable service forfeits this). Transferring to a grant-in-aid school also leads to forfeiture. (f) Transfer to the President's household staff. (g) Time spent traveling between appointments when transferred by a competent authority or, for non-gazetted officers, with their previous head of office's consent. (h) Any other reason provided the break wasn't due to the government servant's fault or intentional action (like unauthorized absence, resignation, or removal). Besides CSR Regulation 423 provides automatic relaxation of six months in case of short service, if he or she, is entitled for pensionary benefits as such the question of latches are of no significance at this stage as the petitioner is requesting for continuation of his past service in different government departments.

While these rules detail appointments, they lack a specific regularization policy. However, government and Cabinet decisions, as well as the 2019 Director Conference directive and case law on the subject issue favoring permanent status for temporary employees with over 10 years of service with available posts, often guide regularization in public sector entities and could apply in the cantonment boards. It appears that the Petitioners have served over 12 years (since 2007-2008), were seemingly listed for regularization per Cabinet Sub-Committee decisions, meet the 10-year service criterion, and their advertised vacancies suggest available posts. 7. The petition also notes past regularization in other Cantonment Board regions. Therefore, the competent authority of the Respondents is directed to resolve this issue at their end as per policy and law, within three months by hearing the Petitioners and determining if they meet the government's regularization criteria.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2019	Ghulam Hussain Khokhar and Ors (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	05-MAY-25	Yes	In Registrar, Supreme Court of Pakistan v. Qazi Wali Muhammad (1997 SCMR 141), the Supreme Court reiterated its stance from Government of Punjab v. Mubarik Ali Khan (PLD 1993 SC 375). In Mubarik Ali Khan, case the Court held that High Court employees are not civil servants under the Civil Servants Act because the legislature has no role in determining their terms and conditions, ensuring judicial independence as per the Constitution. The Court in Qazi Wali Muhammad noted this exclusion. Applying this analogy, the Sindh High Court suggests treating High Court establishment employees and the Advocate General's Office employees similarly in terms of their connection to the administration of justice. While Advocate General's Office employees are civil servants (the office being constitutional under Article 140), their function is to assist the High Court. However, this view is tentative, based on the Sindh High Court's earlier decision in Amanullah Khan Yousufzai (allowing judicial allowance to the Advocate General's Office). The Sindh High Court has not differentiated between these two sets of employees while granting the simmiler relief, unless the Supreme Court overturns the Amanullah Khan Yousufzai decision.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2018	Muhammad Bakhtiar Ahmed (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	30-APR-25	Yes	The core issue is whether proceedings under the statutory Rules of 1973 constitute statutory intervention, allowing a writ petition based on the Pakistan Defence Officers??? Housing Authority case (2013 SCMR 1707). That case held that statutory proceedings override non-statutory rules. Here, the Supreme Court found statutory intervention because proceedings against corporation employees were initiated under the Removal from Service Ordinance, 2000. However, the present petitioner was proceeded against under the Rules of 1973, which inherently apply only to civil servants, not NADRA employees. These rules were applied to the petitioner solely through adoption in NADRA's non-statutory Regulation 23. Statutory intervention would only exist if the Rules of 1973 directly applied to NADRA employees, independent of NADRA's adoption. Since their application is solely via non-statutory regulations, they do not gain a superior statutory status, therefore, assertion of the learned counsel for the petitioner is misconceived and discarded.

This principle, often referred to as animus revertendi or locus poenitentiae, protects individuals from having their accrued benefits taken away after an order has been implemented. Reference can also be made to the cases of Pakistan through the Secretary, Ministry of Finance v. Muhammad Himayatullah Farukhi (PLD 1969 SC 407), Capital Development Authority Through Chairman, Islamabad And Others v.

Further, regarding upgradation, the Supreme Court in the Anwar-ul-Haq case (2017 SCMR 890) clarified that it is often mistaken for promotion. Promotion to a twice-upgraded post, bypassing the required selection process under the recruitment rules, is almost impossible. The established legal principle is that civil/public/government servants are appointed/promoted to posts, not just grades, as further clarified by the Supreme Court in Ali Azhar Khan Baloch, case (2015 SCMR 456), requiring no further discussion here. 8. Considering the case's specifics, ordering further promotion on a twice-upgraded post is not possible unless recruitment rules permit it. However, the respondent department must address the petitioners' seniority within three months, considering their current substantive roles (if not purely for pay/pension fixation) in their substantive rank, after hearing all parties involved.

This revives his original grievance regarding his 1996 termination as Officer Grade-III, weakening the Bank's defenses of a settled matter, estoppel, and laches. The legality of the 1996 termination and the fairness of subsequent proceedings, particularly the Enquiry Officer's report (no proof of willful absence), became the central point. The ultra vires declaration significantly strengthens the Petitioner's case on merit. Therefore, the Bank's competent authority is directed to reconsider its decision after hearing the Petitioner within three months, focusing on the legality of the 1996 termination order and subsequent reinstatement on a lower grade. If the termination was illegal, reinstatement to his 1996 position should be considered strictly in accordance with the law and policy of the bank. However, the observation recorded hereinabove is tentative, subject to the final decision of the respondent bank on the merits of the case. 7. This petition is disposed of accordingly.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2025	Faiz Muhammad Palari (Petitioner) VS Govt of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	05-MAY-25	Yes	This Court finds the present petition suitable for immediate dismissal ("in limine"). The reasons are that the Supreme Court is already addressing almost identical issues in an appeal connected to Civil Petition No. (Nill) of 2024, and the petitioner has not offered any fresh point of view, except that the petitioner has established an unauthorized Cattle Piri (market) for Eid-ul-Adha sacrificial animals, and the subject issue is under consideration before the Assistant Commissioner concerned. In such a scenario, the Assistant Commissioner needs to first handle the petitioner's local government application, annexed with the memo of petition regarding this issue. Seeking both certiorari and mandamus relief at this stage is premature because an alternative legal remedy is still available. Constitutional Courts intervene only when all other options are exhausted, which is not the situation here. Moreover, there is no final government decision for this court to review, and Article 199 of the constitution does not apply to disputes involving private parties. Since the Supreme Court is already considering the requested relief in Criminal Miscellaneous Application No. 5731 of 2024 (within the same Civil Petition), and a restraining order is operating, this court cannot entertain the current petition.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2014	Raeesuddin (Petitioner) VS Sindh Tecnical Education And ors (Respondent)	29-APR-25	Yes	In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, coupled with the Respondent's admission that the contested seniority list was/is provisional and that the petitioners' assignment as Data Processing Assistants (BPS-14) was an adjustment, not a merger, therefore it is ordered that if the Petitioners wish to retain their original cadre, post, and seniority within the Technical Education Department, Sindh Karachi (provided this department still exists and they have not merged into STEVTA since 2010), the Respondent department must hear the Petitioners. If their claim is valid on the subject issue, their original cadre and seniority, along with accrued service benefits, should be maintained according to the law. The competent authority of the respondents shall complete this process within three months after hearing the petitioners. Consequently, this petition is disposed of under these terms.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2017	Ehsanullah Khan (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Ors (Respondent)	22-APR-25	Yes	The initial impression is that Order II Rule 2 of the CPC applies in the present case for the reason that the petitioner's complaint of wrongful denial of promotion to BS-20 seems to be a single cause of action. This rule required him to seek all related remedies, including proforma promotion to both BS-20 and BS-21, in his earlier petition (C.P. NO. D-1945 OF 2013). Consequently, he is now barred from claiming a relief not granted previously. Furthermore, even if the petitioner was senior to the BS-21 promotee, that promotion stands if the Selection Board found the junior officer more meritorious. To claim proforma promotion to BS-21, the petitioner must prove not only his eligibility and the injustice of his BS-20 non-promotion but also that he was at least as meritorious as the promoted junior. This is because BS-21 is a selection post where merit, not seniority, is the paramount factor in promotions, ensuring the most capable individuals are elevated.

The petitioner first filed a similar case in 2016 (C.P. No. 1226 of 2016), which was withdrawn in 2022 without permission to file a new one. The current petition, filed on the same grounds, was submitted after the petitioner had already exceeded the age limit for the position. Besides, the petitioner has failed in the interview; as such, no further indulgence of this Court is required under Article 199 of the Constitution. 8.

This power is reserved for extraordinary situations to ensure justice is served, not to allow injustice to continue. If it is determined that substantial justice has already been achieved between the parties, the court may choose not to use this discretionary jurisdiction. 14. Since the petitioner has repeatedly challenged the decision and his appeals have consistently been rejected by all competent authorities, including the Prime Minister, there is no reason to interfere with the findings under Article 199 of the Constitution. 15.

Given this financial crisis, it is not considered feasible to direct PSM to grant financial relief, such as ad-hoc allowances, to retired officers at this time under Article 199 of the constitution; however, there are outstanding dues petitioner may avail his remedy before the competent forum under the relevant law. 8. In view of the above reasoning, the relief so sought by the petitioner cannot be granted; therefore, this petition, being not maintainable against the purported claim under Article 199 of the constitution, is dismissed together with the pending application(s).

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2021	Amir Ali and Others (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	29-MAY-25	Yes	In this specific case, the petition appears to be in conflict with the Federal Government's up-gradation policy outlined in the Establishment Division O.M. dated September 11, 2018. Furthermore, the petitioners' cadre already has a clear path for promotion under the Recruitment Rules notified on August 2, 2012, which provide for career progression up to BS-20. The respondents have pointed out that the petitioners are only citing paragraph 1 of the O.M. dated February 2, 2012, while deliberately omitting paragraph 2, which clearly upgrades various posts. The formulation of SRO 953(1)/2012 dated August 2, 2012, was necessary due to the merger of the Inland Revenue cadres of the former Income Tax Group (ITG), Sales Tax Department (STD), and Directorate of Reforms & Statistics (DR&S) into the newly formed Inland Revenue Department under the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). Given this existing promotion avenue, up-gradation is not permissible under the law for the petitioners. The Office Memorandum dated September 11, 2018, explicitly states that up-gradation is only considered for isolated cadres that lack promotion opportunities. Since the petitioners' cadre has clear avenues for promotion, they have no valid claim for an up-gradation as a matter of right. They have a defined career progression up to BS-20 as per the Recruitment Rules. 8. In view of the above facts and circumstances of the case, this petition stands dismissed along with the listed application(s).

Recognizing this issue, we direct the Respondents' competent authority to resolve his seniority and time-scale promotion issues within three months after hearing the Petitioner subject to final decision of the learned Islamabad High Court if not decided earlier. 8.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Taufique Ahmed & Others (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	20-MAY-25	Yes	Probation is typically for new hires to assess their suitability. Successful completion leads to regularization. However, imposing a new probation period on long-serving contractual employees being regularized for the same role can be seen as unjustified, especially with satisfactory prior service. The law often recognizes continuous service for benefits, and a new probation could negate this. 5. Given that the petitioners have now been regularized and are no longer on probation, the argument for removing the probation condition is now academic, and the purpose of the petition has been served. This petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

It is significantly barred by laches, as the cause of action arose in 2011 with the impugned order dated 1.07.2011, yet the petitioner filed this petition in 2020, a delay of approximately nine years. Furthermore, no compelling reason to exercise our discretionary powers has been presented. Consequently, the Petition, being ill-conceived and barred by laches. This petition is dismissed because the Supreme Court of Pakistan has already dismissed an identical case through its judgment/order dated October 28, 2022, in CRP.No:510-K/2022 within Civil Petition No.1717-K of 2022.

Minor punishment may be preferred when the offense is less severe, and circumstances suggest no bad faith or willfulness. This view is supported by the Supreme Court of Pakistan's observations in Secretary, Government of Punjab, and others versus Khalid Hussain Hamdani and 2 others 2013 SCMR 817. 18. As a result of the above discussion, this Petition is allowed. The impugned orders dated 09.05.2019 and 19.11.2019, and the directions issued by the SLIC for withholding the service benefits of the petitioner and appellate order are set aside, and she is entitled to be paid for the period mentioned in the impugned orders, accordingly within two (02) months from the date of receipt of this order.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2020	Ghulam Abbass (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	27-MAY-25	Yes	We are of the considered view that the petitioners' situation regarding pensionary benefits is similar to the cases mentioned above. Their pension should be calculated from the date they were merged into TCP, rather than their later regularization dates in 2008 and 2011. This is because the petitioners were allowed to continue their service after the merger, and TCP continued to pay them until their superannuation. Since TCP acted upon the merger, any subsequent decision by the TCP Board is irrelevant. Therefore, in line with Supreme Court principles from the aforementioned cases, their pensionary benefits must be calculated from their merger date with TCP. This calculation should be completed and disbursed to them in accordance with law within three months. 13. These petitions are disposed of in the aforesaid terms.

On the aforesaid proposition, the decision rendered by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of Jan Muhammad v. General Manager, Karachi Telecommunication Region and another, 1993 SCMR 1440, is clear in its terms. 15.

In this context, reference can conveniently be made to the cases of Waris Khan and 18 others v. Col. Humayun Shah and 41 others (PLD 1994 SC 336) and Muhammad Yousaf and 3 others v. Khan Bahadur through L.R.s. (1992 SCMR 2334).

It outlines that the Commission shall consist of the Minister for Local Government, who serves as the Chairman, and two members of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh, nominated by the Leader of the House and the Leader of the Opposition. However, it does not explicitly address the tenure of members or the implications of the dissolution of the Provincial Assembly on their positions. Besides, Rule of the Provincial Local Government Commission (Conduct of Business) Rules, 2017, do not directly address the issue of a member's tenure or the impact of the Provincial Assembly's dissolution. It primarily outlines serving of notice and hearing before removing members. The Commission's rules do not address the salary issue for former MPAs on the Commission. As MPAs are already public servants with salaries. The court cannot decide if the former MPA can claim additional salary for their role on the Commission as the rules do not provide clear guidance on this matter.

In terms of Article 27 of the Constitution, no citizen in the service of Pakistan or other persons shall be discriminated against in any manner. Article 27 of the Constitution does not only safeguard against discrimination at the time of appointment of service but after the appointment as well.

Resignation is a voluntary termination of the contract, which outlines employment terms. Regularization, a separate process for permanent positions, is not automatically triggered by resignation and requires specific policies or employer decisions. Contract employees don't have an inherent right to regularization based solely on service length or satisfaction. While legal remedies might exist for the unfair use of resignation to avoid regularization, they don't guarantee it.

If this is the position of the case, these cases need to be referred back to the competent authority within the Respondents' administration. This authority needs to examine the issue of either upgrading the Petitioners' posts or considering them for promotion according to the prevailing recruitment rules, provided they meet the eligibility and fitness criteria for the position as requested, and after providing them an opportunity to be heard if they are still employed in the respondent department. This approach aligns with the Supreme Court's decisions in similar cases as discussed supra. Consequently, these petitions are being disposed of under these specified terms.

However, the court order dated December 8, 2011, and the terms of their compromise agreement, which has become final, must be strictly followed. Therefore, attempting to appoint the Petitioner to a new category is unwarranted. As the Petitioner, formerly a Labour Inspector (Shops & Establishment) Zone 'C' Hyderabad, was relieved from his duties specifically to join the National Bank of Pakistan under this compromise (endorsed by this Court on December 8, 2011 in Constitutional Petition No. D-106/2010), as such his prior service must be taken into account for pension, pay determination, and other employment benefits in terms of Civil Service Regulation (CSR) Article 371-A(i) as well as in terms of compromise application. on the aforesaid proposition, we are guided by the decision of the Supreme Court in the cases of Nafees Ahmad V/S Government of Pakistan and others, 2000 SCMR 1864, Ch.

Setting promotion eligibility criteria is the responsibility of the Service Rules Committee and is fundamentally an administrative function within the Respondent-Bank's exclusive policy-making authority. Therefore, this court generally finds intervention in such promotion matters unwarranted, as bank employees lack a guaranteed right to promotion or the rules defining their eligibility and fitness. Moreover, in banking cases, the High Court typically lacks the jurisdiction to invalidate such policies via a writ petition, except when the policy contradicts public interest, which is not the situation here. The Supreme Court has consistently affirmed this legal principle in numerous previous rulings. It is not for the courts to interfere with policy decision which have been made in good faith with the object of promoting merit. 12. Accordingly this petition is without merit and is dismissed.

Considering his retirement and receipt of all due benefits, the Supreme Court found the High Court's intervention unsustainable under the relevant law and rules governing the Bank's employees.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2019	Manzoor Ahmed Jokhio (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	02-MAY-25	Yes	The provided rule and Supreme Court precedents establish a civil servant's entitlement to pro-forma promotion. The Supreme Court in Secretary Schools of Education v. Rana Arshad Khan (2012 SCMR 126) granted proforma promotion to retirees due to unjustifiable departmental delays in their promotion process before retirement. Similarly, Federation of Pakistan v. Jahanzaib (2023 PLC (C.S.) 336) held that proforma promotion is applicable when an administrative oversight delays consideration for promotion until after retirement. Furthermore, in Homeo Dr. Asma Noureen Syed v. The Government of Punjab (2022 SCMR 1546), the Supreme Court remanded a case back to the Service Tribunal for fresh consideration of proforma promotion for a retired civil servant. These judgments underscore that employees should not suffer due to departmental failings regarding timely promotion consideration.

No.D-215 of 2012. Without touching the merits of the cases, these petitions can be resolved by directing the respondent department to look into the issue involved in the petition if the petitioners??? cause still subsists. In the meanwhile, the respondents are mandated to advertise all job vacancies that have not been previously advertised. This would ensure that all eligible individuals have the opportunity to compete for these positions if vacant based purely on merit through a competitive process.

(Respondent)	10-APR-25	Yes	Without addressing the substantive arguments of these cases and merits, these petitions are now considered concluded and are hereby disposed of in the terms that much water has flown under the bridge since 2008 and we are now in 2025 besides petitioners have not asked for the issuance of writ of quo warranto against the individual who were purportedly appointed in violation of the rules as no record has been produced to infer adverse against them at this stage in a case of writ of mandamus. However, if the cause of action for these petitions still exists, the petitioners retain the right to initiate appropriate legal action, including proceedings under a writ of quo warranto, if they believe the appointments of the private respondents are contrary to law and if such legal recourse is permissible. These petitions are disposed of along with the pending application(s) in the above terms.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Given this precarious financial situation, directing PSM to grant the retired officers' claimed financial benefits under the promotion policy 2009 in these petitions is not considered appropriate at this time for the reasons discussed above in terms of the decision passed in the aforesaid proceedings. 8. Based on the reasoning outlined above, the relief requested by the petitioners cannot be granted. Consequently, these petitions are dismissed as not maintainable, along with any pending applications.

Prima facie they cannot be made to suffer on account of departmental lapse. Additionally, in the matter of civil service, there should not be at all any instance where the competent authority is found to be accommodating any one civil servant for grant of promotion and leaving all other equals and even seniors abandoned.

Therefore, there's no basis to invoke Article 25 of the Constitution, especially in light of the Supreme Court's decision in National Bank of Pakistan v Sajjad Ali Khaskheli (2023 PLC(CS) 276), which held that there is no provision for proforma promotion in relevant service rules. This is further supported by the fact that the petitioner has retired and received all due benefits. 8. Given the foregoing discussion, we find no merit in this petition that would warrant intervention by this Court. Therefore, the petition is dismissed, along with any pending applications.

His failure to diligently pursue the case since 2019 means this court cannot order his retirement in BS-20 as he claims.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2019	Hafiz Muhammad Usman and Ors (Petitioner) VS Govt. of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	22-MAY-25	Yes	It is established law that long or satisfactory service alone does not grant a right to regularization for ad-hoc or contract employees, nor can High Courts revive expired contracts or alter their terms and conditions of service (Deputy Commissioner Upper Dir v. Nusrat Begum (2022 SCMR 964), Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa v. Saeed ul Hasan (2021 SCMR 1376), Province of Punjab v. Prof. Dr. Javed Iqbal (2022 SCMR 897), Khushal Khan Khattak University v. Jabran Ali Khan) (2021 SCMR 977),. Primarily, regularization requires an executive policy or specific statute. Absent such a policy or statute, this Court lacks jurisdiction to order regularization. 6. However, this petition for the regularization of contract employees at the Lyari Development Authority (LDA) is disposed of in the terms that they were hired in 2014 for the Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Town (SMBBT) project to develop land management software, and their case needs to be remitted to the competent authority of the respondents as this decision is based on the recommendation of the Minister for Local Government, Sindh, which is in alignment with the Lyari Development Act 1993, and the Provincial Cabinet decision from March 2018, endorsing the regularization of qualified contract employees of different departments of government of Sindh. The competent authority is directed to decide on their regularization within three months after hearing the petitioners. This decision must consider their current serving status and the established legal principles regarding regularization, as discussed. The regularization issue is further supported by the SMBBT project's sponsoring agency having transitioned to the Local Government Housing Town Planning Department. 7. This petition is disposed of accordingly.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

These orders align with a Supreme Court judgment. Law enforcement agencies must assist the Forest Department in enforcing this court's orders. However, this Court does not endorse the Forest Department's authority to rent out shops to private individuals, as they have failed to clarify the stance backed by law. 12. Foregoing the reasons, this petition is disposed of in terms of orders dated 12.03.2024, 27.05.2024, 21.08.2024, 04.09.2024, 25.09.2024, and 09.10.2024, passed by this court, which must be complied with by the officials respondents without fail.

If the appeal is not decided within that timeframe, he/she can then approach the service tribunal to challenge the original order. Once they do so, the Tribunal must decide the appeal on merits and cannot merely direct the department to decide it, as the 90 days for the department to act has already expired. On the aforesaid proposition, we are guided by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Dr. Sayyid A.S. Pirzada v. The Chief Secretary, Services and Administration Department, etc (2023 SCMR 1087). 7. In view of the above facts and circumstances of the case, petitioner can approach the Sindh Service Tribunal against the impugned order dated 05.1.2024 and it is for the learned Sindh Service Tribunal to take decision in terms of law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Dr. Sayyid A.S.

On the aforesaid proposition, we are fortified with the decision rendered by the Supreme Court in the case of Ali Azhar Khan Baloch vs. the Province of Sindh [2015 SCMR 456].

If the Mukhtiarkar refuses the application, the petitioners must first pursue remedies such as appeal, revision, or review. Article 199 of the Constitution allows High Court intervention only when "no other adequate remedy is provided by law." It is well-settled that an aggrieved person must exhaust available remedies before invoking High Court jurisdiction, regardless of whether those remedies suit them. The doctrine of exhaustion of remedies prevents unnecessary High Court litigation.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2016	Syed Salman Hasan and Ors (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Ors (Respondent)	08-MAY-25	Yes	Learned AAG submitted that the petitioners' appointments are illegal, contravening KoFHA's 1988 Regulations and 1982 Ordinance. The AAG refuted allegations against the former Secretary, noting his retirement on March 25, 2017. Regarding the former MD KoFHA's appointment, it was asserted to be improper and against procedure, resulting in a stayed removal directive. The AAG maintained the petitioners' appointments violated KoFHA regulations, the Ordinance, and federal policy, justifying the Ministry's actions as the supervisory authority. The petitioners' claims were argued to be unfounded in KoFHA's rules, and the principle of locus poenitentiae was inapplicable due to the initial illegality of the appointments in KoFHA. Fundamental rights claims were dismissed due to the illegal appointments. The AAG stated the Ministry correctly conveyed policy to the former MD, who then illegally appointed the petitioners. Consequently, they cannot be considered regular employees. The actions of Respondent No. 2 were defended as compliant with regulations, and no violation of apex court rulings by Respondent No. 1 occurred. The petitioners' appointments are deemed void from inception due to legal violations. The AAG concluded by stating that the petitioners concealed facts and requested the petition's dismissal with costs on behalf of the Respondent ministry. 5. The stance of the respondent/4 KoFHA is that KoFHA, an autonomous body under the Ministry operating under the 1982 Ordinance and 1988 Regulations, acknowledges the petitioners' appointments followed due process. While Petitioner No. 1's (BPS-17) confirmation is pending Board reconstitution, Petitioners No. 2-5 (BPS-16) have completed probation and deserved confirmation.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2019	Dr. Asha Bai (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	05-MAY-25	Yes	The petitioner's regularization case, ongoing since 2015 (CP 2187/2015), was sent for reconsideration in 2018, but a committee found her unsuitable based on subjective criteria. While challenging this as arbitrary, this court notes it cannot reassess her now, especially with another candidate already working on the post. In terms of the Supreme Court decision in the case of Asif Hassan v Sabir Hussain, 2019 SCMR 1720, this court typically does not interfere with the expert committee's subjective evaluations under Article 199. It is the competent authority's prerogative to assess candidates, and this court cannot substitute its judgment if the chosen candidate is qualified and eligible, a principle supported by the Supreme Court in the case of Muhammad Ashraf Sangri v. Federation of Pakistan and others (2014 SCMR 157). 6. This petition is dismissed as it seeks to reopen a reassessment already conducted in previous litigation, rendering it not maintainable at this stage. All pending applications are also dismissed.

According to Paragraph 116 of the 2013 SCMR 1752 judgment, clarified that Rule 9-A governs the transfer of surplus employees (due to post abolition or government takeover of their organization) to suitable government posts, provided they meet the qualifications for an equivalent or comparable scale. Seniority in the new cadre starts from the appointment date. 5. The Petitioner has sought his original Accountant BS-15 benefits and upgrades, consistent with Supreme Court rulings. This court accept the plea of the petitioner and direct the respondent's competent authority to reconsider its decision within three months after hearing the Petitioner, in line with those rulings as discussed supra and observation recorded hereinabove. 6.

The subsequent issuance of SRO 274(I)/2021 by the FPSC further complicated the petitioners' position due to inaction on the part of respondent No.1 for the reasons best known to him, which are obvious, with continued inaction being viewed unfavorably regarding PMS/PCS officers' PAS induction. Consequently, this court is left with no option but to direct the Establishment Secretary to immediately act on the provincial government's recommendations for PMS/PCS officers' PAS induction if they meet the eligibility criteria for recommendation through the competitive process under the law without any sort of delay. 10. This petition is thus disposed of under these terms.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

While the Act 2013 facilitated their regularization only, fully integrating them into the civil service structure, particularly given SIDA employees' unique position, necessitates further clarification and implementation. The purpose of this petition is to determine whether SIDA employees can be treated equally with other government employees regarding service benefits and the budgetary allocation for their positions. 10. Therefore, this petition is disposed of with the direction to the Chief Secretary Sindh to convene a meeting coordinated by the Head of SIDA and Irrigation department Government of Sindh, within three months to address this discrepancy and resolve the subject issue at their end on administrative side.

This reclassification would result in higher pay and possibly improved benefits, bringing them in line with what other Sindh Government employees in comparable roles earn. They feel their current job levels and salaries do not adequately acknowledge their years of service and the nature of their duties relative to others. 7. This Court acknowledges that the final decision on upgrading these positions is a policy matter for the relevant government authority and as such decline to interfere in the same, accordingly the petition is dismissed.

The Supreme Court in the recent judgment in the case of Sakhib Zar vs. M/s K-Electric Limited & others ( 2024 SCMR 1722) has held that even 10 days??? absence without leave is quantified as misconduct and on proving the guilt of the employee after fulfilling the requisite formalities envisaged under the law, and that could not be modified. No premium or advantage could be given on this count for any compassionate or sympathetic view. The management has a legitimate and unbridled right and authority to make a decision and mete out the punishment as provided under the law, including the dismissal/termination of service of a delinquent. 6. The Supreme Court further held that the distinction between the act of misconduct and the quantum of punishment provided under the law for such misconduct. Likewise, different acts of misconduct are defined in the different laws with different quantum or genres of punishments to be 5 imposed according to the fine sense of judgment of the competent authority/management/employer, in which the Courts have no role to play in the decision making of management which is the sole arbiter.

The Supreme Court found the High Court's intervention unsustainable, as the retired employee had already received all due benefits. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's judgment. 11. The petition is dismissed. Following the Supreme Court's decision in the National Bank of Pakistan case, supra, reopening this matter after the petitioner's 2022 retirement is not permissible. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to diligently pursue the case before the deletion of Fundamental Rule 17 in 2021 and did not obtain an order to keep the position vacant while the petition remained pending since 2020.

Courts can review policies only if they violate constitutional rights. The concept of institutional autonomy, essential for effective decision-making, supports non-interference in policy matters. This autonomy is vital for public institutions to safeguard public interest and promote democratic values, including academic freedom. 10.

Courts can review policies only if they violate constitutional rights. The concept of institutional autonomy, essential for effective decision-making, supports non-interference in policy matters. This autonomy is vital for public institutions to safeguard public interest and promote democratic values, including academic freedom. 10. This Court has determined that The petitioners cannot ask for regularization of their service through constitutional petitions under Article 199 of the Constitution, however, it is for the respondent???s competent authority to consider their case in terms of their policy, if any, without discrimination within reasonable time.

In that case, Petitioners who were directly appointed to the National Highways & Motorway Police (NH&MP) claimed that the absorption of deputationists from other departments was illegal and negatively impacted their seniority rights. They submitted that these deputationists lacked the necessary qualifications and that the NH&MP had only partially implemented a previous court judgment that canceled all such absorptions. The Supreme Court dismissed the petitioners' request. It found that the NH&MP's decision to repatriate the deputationists was valid. The Supreme court has issued a clear directive to repatriate all person to their original departments. This order is to be carried out strictly in accordance with previous Supreme Court rulings, specifically those in the cases of Contempt proceedings against the Chief Secretary, Sindh (2013) and Ali Azhar Khan Baloch vs. Province of Sindh (2015). 17. This court agreed with the department's position taken in the their report/comments filed on 26.09.2022; and, we see no reason to review their point of view/ decision and, therefore, this petition is liable to be dismissed, which is hereby dismissed along with pending application(s)	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Abdul Qadeer (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	06-AUG-25	Yes	The Supreme Court in the recent judgment 2025 SCMR 104 has held that any institution opting for regularization of its employees must be either mandated by law or must carry out regularization through a well-thought-out policy of the institution concerned laying down the criteria and the process for regularization; performance evaluation of the contractual employee must be assessed to determine if the employee meets the standards required for a regular position; there must be availability of positions that match the skills and experience of the contractual employee; the budgetary considerations and financial implication of a regular employee be weighed and considered. There must be a fair assessment of the employee???s qualifications, performance, and merit, to ensure only competent and committed employees be granted permanent employment status.

Government of Punjab and others (2003 SCMR 291) and Shahzad Shahmir and others v Government of Sindh & others (2021 SCMR 824). The Dr. Naveeda Tufail case shows that the Federal Government regularized ad hoc employees through the Public Service Commission. While the Petitioners, as provincial contract employees, cannot automatically claim this, Article 25 of the Constitution calls for equal treatment. In Naveeda Tufail, the Supreme Court recognized a legitimate expectation of regularization for Punjab's ad hoc lecturers due to continuous ad hoc appointments. The Supreme Court directed the Punjab government to regularize them via the Punjab Public Service Commission, following the Federal model with some concessions, ensuring separate consideration from direct recruits and non-retention of unsuitable candidates. This case highlights the need for fairness and the Public Service Commission's role in regularization.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Without a specific law, policy, or rules governing regularization, an individual cannot simply petition the High Court for this relief. Both parties acknowledged that the petitioners were hired for temporary, contract-based positions, as explicitly stated in their employment contracts. These contracts also stipulated that they could not claim regularization. This aspect of the lack of qualification of the post as pointed out cannot be overlooked by this Court; these crucial details cannot be basis of principle to grant relief as they have already been nonsuited. The application of the law applied by the respondents while scrutinizing the cases of the petitioners is correct appreciation of law and supported by both regularization policy and existing legal precedents, rendering the decision of scrutiny committee valid and sustainable as the issue of qualification has been raised as this Court cannot change the disqualification into qualification. On the aforesaid proposition we are supported by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa v. Sher Aman (2022 SCMR 406). 8. For the foregoing reasons, this petition is found to be meritless and is dismissed.

In terms of Article 27 of the Constitution, no citizen in the service of Pakistan or other persons shall be discriminated against in any manner. Article 27 of the Constitution does not only safeguard against discrimination at the time of appointment of service but after the appointment as well. The disparity in the pay scale allowances of Stenographers in the District Judiciary is in the clear negation of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in its various pronouncements. 11. In the light of the above facts and circumstances of the case, and in addition to the jurisdiction conferred upon this Court under Article 199 (1)(c) of the Constitution 1973, we deem it appropriate to direct the competent authority of respondents, to take a fresh decision after providing meaningful hearing to the petitioner, within three months, without discrimination.

However, the Sindh government incorrectly repatriated the petitioner to a non-existent organization at the relevant time. They should have sent him to the Establishment Division as per the Supreme Court's order. But at the same time, we are cognizant of the fact that a non-civil servant does not fall under the category of individuals covered by Section 11-A of the Civil Servants Act, 1973. This section specifically applies to civil servants who are rendered surplus due to the reorganization or abolition of a division, department, or office. Non-civil servants, by definition, are not subject to the provisions of the Civil Servants Act. Their terms and conditions of service are typically governed by separate contracts or agreements with the employing organization. Therefore, the provisions of Section 11-A, including the possibility of being posted to another department, would not apply to non-civil servants.

However, this raises the question of whether a Constitutional Petition is the appropriate legal avenue for an employee of a statutory corporation with non-statutory service rules to enforce the terms of those rules. Established service law dictates that if a statutory body's employee service conditions aren't governed by statute-based rules but by internal rules or instructions, their violation is generally not enforceable through constitutional jurisdiction and falls under the principle of master and servant. Here, the petitioner seeks enforcement of the DHA Service Rules 2008, which this Court cannot typically enforce via a Constitutional Petition. This position is supported by the Supreme Court of Pakistan's ruling in Pakistan Defense Officers Housing Authority vs. Mrs. Itrat Sajjad Khan and others (2017 SCMR 2010).

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2016	Syed Sajjad Ali Shah (Petitioner) VS Chief Sect: and Ors (Respondent)	18-APR-25	Yes	The consistent stance of the Supreme Court is that contractual employees possess no inherent right to regularization. Regularization can only be considered based on fitness, suitability, and applicable departmental laws and rules. Cases like Khushal Khan Khattak University v. Jabran Ali Khan (2021 SCMR 977), Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa v. Raheel Ali Gohar (2020 SCMR 2068), and others reiterate that regularization requires a legal and statutory basis. Contractual employees serve at the pleasure of their master and cannot seek reinstatement for wrongful termination, only compensation through a competent court. Chairman NADRA v. Muhammad Ali Shah (2017 SCMR 1979) clarifies that contractual employees are governed by their contract terms until regularized and generally cannot invoke the High Court's constitutional jurisdiction. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that temporary, contract, or project employees lack a vested right to regularization unless their initial appointment followed regular recruitment rules against sanctioned vacant posts, which is not the case here. Vice-Chancellor, Bacha Khan University v. Tanveer Ahmad (2022 PLC (C.S.) 85), Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd. v. Muhammad Samiullah (2021 SCMR 998), Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa v. Sher Aman (2022 SCMR 406), and Deputy Director Finance and Administration FATA v. Dr. Lal Marjan (2022 SCMR 566) all decisions confirm that regularization is not a vested right but requires a statutory basis, which is absent in this instance. A contractual employee seeking regularization must demonstrate this statutory basis, as relief cannot be granted solely on the principle of "similarly placed persons."

While the petitioners request a resolution of their petition per the Supreme Court's directive, the learned Assistant Advocate General (AAG) submitted that their case does not fall within the scope of that Supreme Court decision and thus cannot be decided on those terms, praying for the dismissal of the petition. Regardless, let this matter first be referred to the Secretary of the Local Government Department to scrutinize the petitioners' case. If their case falls outside the purview of the newly formed committee, the petitioners must be granted a hearing, and a decision should be reached within three months.

Consequently, the petitioner's grievance pertains to the terms and conditions of service, which cannot be enforced through a Writ Petition, especially since the Service Rules involved are non-statutory and are considered internal instructions for the Respondent-Company's employee management. This view aligns with the principles established by the Supreme Court in Shafique Ahmed Khan and others v. NESCOM through Chairman Islamabad and others (PLD 2016 SC 377) and Muhammad Zaman etc. v. Government of Pakistan through Secretary, Finance Division (Regulation Wing), Islamabad (2017 SCMR 571), which differentiate between statutory and non-statutory service rules in the context of writ jurisdiction.

Although the petitioner proceeded against the statutory Rules of 1973, their adoption under Regulation 23 of the non-statutory Regulations gives them a non-statutory status in this context. Consequently, this constitutional petition is not maintainable under Article 199 of the Constitution more particularly in terms of the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court in Maj. (Retd.)

The Secretary, Kashmir Affairs and Northern Affairs Division, Islamabad (PLD 1995 SC 701) and Maula Bux Shaikh case, supra, confirmed the government's authority to decide promotion qualification sufficiency. However, key questions remain: Can a promotion policy violating the PEC Act or other laws (potentially leading to criminal liability) be valid? And does preventing an Executive Engineer (BS-18) from performing their professional duties create discriminatory classes within the same cadre, violating Article 25 of the Constitution? The issue of whether a promotion policy violates the PEC Act or creates discriminatory classes within the same cadre is valid is currently pending adjudication before the Supreme Court in the case of Ghulam Abbas Soomro vs The Province of Sindh, etc. (Civil Appeal No. 84-K of 2023). 11. Given the pending Supreme Court case (Ghulam Abbas Soomro), this petition is disposed of based on the existing Supreme Court dicta. The respondent department will revive the petitioners' case if the Ghulam Abbas Soomro decision warrants it, subject to the eligibility of the petitioners under the recruitment rules for proforma promotion to the next rank.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2015	Muhammad Asif (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Ors (Respondent)	14-APR-25	Yes	The foundation of the petitioner's case rests upon the precedent established in the matter of the Taimur Ali Khan case (C.P No. 2873 of 2012). In that instance, KPT proposed a Grade-II Traffic Supervisor position with seniority commencing from January 1, 2014, while declining to pay retroactive salary. Despite Taimur Ali Khan's initial request for arrears, this Court ultimately mandated his immediate assumption of the offered role. The present petitioner seeks analogous relief based on the findings of the division bench of this Court, as such deviation at this stage is almost impossible as the matter is sub judice before the Supreme Court. Consequently, this petition can be resolved in the same manner, contingent upon the Chairman of KPT's impartial determination, following a hearing with the petitioner within a three-month time frame, that the petitioner's circumstances are comparable to those of the Taimur Ali Khan case as discussed supra.

All executive and judicial authorities throughout Pakistan are obligated to act in aid of the Supreme Court, ensuring the enforcement of its judgments. As the Supreme Court is the final arbitrator of all cases where the decision has been reached, therefore the decision of the Supreme Court needs to be taken care of as directed in terms of Article 187(2) of the Constitution. 10.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2017	Umer Ansari and Ors (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh and Ors (Respondent)	23-APR-25	Yes	Drawing an analogy from the present situation and, more importantly, guided by the principles established by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the cases of Dr. Naveeda Tufail and 72 others v. Government of Punjab and others (2003 SCMR 291) and Shahzad Shahmir and others v Government of Sindh & others (2021 SCMR 824). The Dr. Naveeda Tufail case shows that the Federal Government regularized ad hoc employees through the Public Service Commission. While the Petitioners, as provincial contract employees, cannot automatically claim this, Article 25 of the Constitution calls for equal treatment. In Naveeda Tufail, the Supreme Court recognized a legitimate expectation of regularization for Punjab's ad hoc lecturers due to continuous ad hoc appointments. The Supreme Court directed the Punjab government to regularize them via the Punjab Public Service Commission, following the Federal model with some concessions, ensuring separate consideration from direct recruits and non-retention of unsuitable candidates. This case highlights the need for fairness and the Public Service Commission's role in regularization. However, the Supreme Court in the case of Shahzad Shahmir held that appointments to BPS-17 under Article 242 of the Constitution must be made by the Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC), rendering contract appointments to such posts illegal from the outset.

While the Constitution (Articles 4, 3, and 38) guarantees legal protection, equality, fair labor practices, and improved living standards, the petitioners' counsel has not presented any rules allowing the respondent (No. 2) to regularize their services. Although the respondents admit the petitioners work for them, the court is of the view that without a specific law, rule, or policy for regularization, it cannot assist the petitioners at this stage. This court leaves it to the respondent (No. 2) to consider their cases for suitability according to their own rules and regulations. Consequently, the petition is deemed not maintainable under Article 199 of the Constitution and is dismissed along with any pending applications.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2017	Khurram Faizan (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh and Ors (Respondent)	27-MAY-25	Yes	The petitioners' case appears to be similar to that of Muhammad Afzal Soomro, previously decided by this Court, and aligns with I. A Sherwani and others vs. Government of Pakistan, 1991 SCMR 1081. Therefore, in the interest of justice, the postgraduate/LL.M. degree allowance and its benefits should be extended to the employees of the District Judiciary. The purpose behind granting this incentive is evident from the February 8, 2018, notification issued by the Universities and Boards Department, Government of Sindh, which provided a monthly allowance of Rs. 2500/- to Ph.D. degree holders in Public Sector Universities. Consequently, we direct the Finance Secretary, Sindh and Chief Secretary Sindh to examine the petitioners' case considering this notification and the dicta laid down by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the aforementioned case and make a policy decision on the same. 10. The instant petition stands disposed of in the above terms.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Laghari (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	26-AUG-25	Yes	In conclusion, a retired civil servant can be entitled to a pro forma promotion under the law, but only if he/she can establish that he/she was denied the promotion during their service due to an administrative lapse and not for a legitimate reason, such as being too junior on the seniority list. Based solely on the facts presented, it appears the department's position is legally sound, as the petitioner's seniority number was well below the threshold for promotion at the relevant time. Therefore this petition is liable to be dismissed on merit, which accordingly dismissed.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Saddam Hussain Khoso (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	11-AUG-25	Yes	In the case of Muhammad Israrullah Vs Assistant Director, Manpower and others (2005 SCMR 716), the Supreme Court has held that the services of a deputationist could not be terminated as he retains his lien in the parent department for not having been confirmed in the borrowing department. A civil servant can claim his lien on his original post when he has not been permanently absorbed in the borrowing department. The Supreme Court in the case of Chief Secretary, Government of NWFP Vs Syed Zafarmand Ali (2005 SCMR 1212) has expounded that lien of a civil servant could not be terminated even with his consent, unless he had been confirmed against some other permanent post. It is further held that even in a case of willingness shown by the civil servant to be absorbed in borrowing department, in absence of any order of appointment by transfer and settlement of terms and conditions of such appointment, lien of the civil servant in his parent department would not be terminated. 8. This petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid judgments of the Supreme Court.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2020	Tahir Hussain Akhger (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	09-MAY-25	Yes	The legal right to the Petitioner's BPS-13 upgrade is disputed, especially since the Respondents say the 1994 rule did not apply to him, his work group has different rules, there's no higher Photographer job, his duties have not changed, he agreed to BPS-07, and the job is being ended due to abolishment of post, this Court cannot order the upgrade of the post which had already been abolished. Upgrading a job, especially one being ended, is a decision for the Ministry of Defence, and this Court may not interfere at this point. The people in charge at the Ministry can consider his request if the rules and policies allow it. So, this petition is dismissed based on these reasons.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2019	Fida Muhammad and Ors (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	30-APR-25	Yes	The Supreme Court also emphasizes that regularization is a policy decision within the executive???s purview and generally beyond judicial interference. Courts can review policies only if they violate constitutional rights. The concept of institutional autonomy, essential for effective decision-making, supports non-interference in policy matters. This autonomy is vital for public institutions to safeguard public interest and promote democratic values, including academic freedom. 10. This Court has determined that The petitioners cannot ask for regularization of their service through constitutional petitions under Article 199 of the Constitution, however, it is for the respondent???s competent authority to consider their case in terms of their policy, if any, without discrimination within reasonable time.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2021	Muhammad Nusrat and Others (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh and Others (Respondent)	16-MAY-25	Yes	The Supreme Court in the case of Nazeer Ahmed Chkrani v Government of Pakistan (2004 SCMR 623), reiterating the principle from Pakistan International Airlines v Nasir Jamal Malik (2001 SCMR 934), established that a promoted employee cannot be demoted without being given a chance to be heard and present their case. In the Nazeer Ahmed Chkrani case, the petitioner was promoted to General Manager in 1995 and then demoted to Deputy General Manager in 1997 without any prior explanation sought regarding the circumstances of their promotion or their capability to hold the higher post. The demotion order also lacked any stated reasons for the Competent Authority's opinion that the promotion was wrongful. The Supreme Court, without delving into the merits of the case, held that the demotion violated the principles of natural justice ("no one should be condemned unheard"). Consequently, the petition was converted into an appeal and allowed, setting aside the Federal Service Tribunal's order and the departmental demotion order. The Supreme Court clarified that the Pakistan State Oil Company Limited remains free to initiate fresh action against the petitioner, provided they follow the correct legal procedure, and no order regarding costs was issued. In recent judgment of 2022, the Supreme Court has ruled that no decision be taken effacing the right of any person without first being informed of the case and affording an ample opportunity of defense, therefore judicial propriety demand that this matter needs to be taken care of by the competitive authority of respondents before taking adverse view until and unless there is strict compliance of the Supreme Court decisions.

702	2025 SHC KHI 2432	Const. P. 5954/2022 (D.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Muhammad Rafiq (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	02-SEP-25	Yes	Primarily, appointments to government positions made on an officiating or additional/current charge basis are temporary, for a specific purpose, and cannot violate established laws or be continued indefinitely. Such practices can cause frustration among other employees, hinder the promotion of deserving candidates, and undermine the principles of transparency and fairness essential for good governance. The legal system requires that permanent vacancies be filled promptly to avoid the spoils system and ensure that civil servants are appointed based on merit. However, in the present case, this Court finds that the petitioner has no vested right to claim BS-20 position without regular promotion under the current recruitment rules, even though he currently has temporary charge of it, which is a stop gap arrangement till eligible officer of that cadre is appointed. 16. The petition is deemed "misconceived" and is dismissed along with pending application(s) without any order for costs.

In this case, the regularization process for the petitioner was found to lack the backing of law, rules, or policy, thereby precluding their claim for regularization. The petitioner has failed to demonstrate any illegality or irregularity in the respondents' actions, thus providing no basis for this Court's interference under its writ jurisdiction to regularize his services based on ELP enrollment which concluded on January 16, 2020. 12.

The High Court's administrative control under Article 203 of the constitution supports equal treatment under the "rule of parity." This applies to pay scales (equal pay for equivalent grades), standardized allowances (Judicial and Utility, with High Court percentage revisions extending to the district judiciary), other benefits (medical, housing, etc.), and pension benefits (if allowances are pensionable for High Court employees, the same should apply to the district judiciary). The rule of parity mandates equal treatment for similarly situated groups without discrimination in terms of Article 25 of the Constitution. The Government of Sindh is under its obligation to treat the employees of entire judiciary equally, so far as their perks and privileges are concerned without discrimination.

Khan Bahadur through L.R.s. (1992 SCMR 2334).

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2023	Fatima Noor (Petitioner) VS Dow University of Health Science and Others (Respondent)	24-JAN-25	Yes	Coming to the main case, it is also a well-established proposition of law that when an inquiry is conducted on charges of misconduct by a public servant, the Court is concerned with determining whether the inquiry was held by a competent officer or whether rules of natural justice are complied with. Whether the findings or conclusions are based on some evidence, the authority entrusted with the power to hold inquiry has jurisdiction, power, and authority to reach a finding of fact or conclusion. But that finding must be based on some evidence. Neither the technical rules nor proof of a fact or evidence in the Stricto-Sensu, apply to disciplinary proceedings. When the authority accepts that evidence and conclusion receive support therefrom, the disciplinary authority is entitled to hold that the delinquent officer is guilty of the charge, however, that is subject to the procedure provided under the relevant rules and not otherwise, for the reason that the Court in its power of judicial review does not act as appellate authority to re-appreciate the evidence and to arrive at its independent findings on the evidence. This Court may interfere where the authority held the proceedings against the delinquent officer in a manner inconsistent with the rules of natural justice or in violation of statutory rules prescribing the mode of inquiry or where the conclusion or finding reached by the disciplinary authority is based on no evidence. If the conclusion or finding is such as no reasonable person would have ever reached, the Court may interfere with the conclusion or the finding and mold the relief to make it appropriate to the facts of each case. In service jurisprudence, the disciplinary authority is the sole judge of facts. Where the appeal is presented, the appellate authority has coextensive power to re-appreciate the evidence or the nature of punishment. On the aforesaid proposition, we are fortified by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Ghulam Murtaza Shaikh v. Chief Minister Sindh (2024 SCMR 1757).

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2023	Saleem Khan (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	24-JAN-25	Yes	It is well-settled that while considering the case of regular promotion of civil servants, the competent authority has to consider the merit of all the eligible candidates and after due deliberations, to grant promotion to such eligible candidates who are found to be most meritorious amongst them. Since the petitioner was held to be senior to his colleagues who were promoted in BS-19, the petitioner was ignored by the respondent department just to extend favor to the blue-eyed candidate based on OPS, which is apathy on the part of the respondent department. 14. In the light of the position explained above, it is concluded that a civil servant has a fundamental right to be promoted even after his retirement by awarding proforma promotion; provided, his right of promotion accrued during his service but could not be considered for no fault of his own and meanwhile he retired on attaining the age of superannuation without any shortcoming on his part about deficiency in the length of service or in the form of inquiry and departmental action was so taken against his right of promotion.

The appropriate forum for challenging a transfer order is the Service Tribunal. This is because transfer orders are typically considered within the administrative discretion of the employer. However, there may be exceptions in cases where the transfer is motivated by malice, personal vendetta, or discrimination against the employee, they may have grounds to challenge before the appropriate forum.

This specific aspect of the case requires review by the respondents' competent authority within three months. This review should be conducted after hearing the petitioner's perspective, in accordance with the principles established by the Supreme Court in the cases of Capital Development Authority v Shabbir Hussain & others (2022 SCMR 627) and The Chairman Central Board of Revenue vs Muhammad Mlook (1999 SCMR 1540).

While a writ under Article 199 is available in specific limited situations, it is generally not the appropriate remedy to contest a dismissal from service based on these charges, particularly when the employee was afforded a full opportunity to cross-examine witnesses and present his/her defense but did not convince the department of his/her innocence. 10. Based on the findings of the inquiry committee, this petition is not considered maintainable and is therefore liable to be dismissed, which is dismissed accordingly with pending application(s) if any.

It is further clarified that upgradation cannot be construed to be promotion, as is generally misunderstood. Up-gradation is carried out without necessarily creating a post in the relevant scale of pay it is carried out under a policy and specified scheme. It is only for the incumbents of isolated posts, which have no avenues or channels of promotion at all. Up-gradation under the scheme is personal to incumbents of the isolated posts to address stagnation and frustration of incumbents on a particular post for a sufficient length of service on the particular post without any progression or avenue in the service.

This principle was also upheld by the Supreme Court in the case of Faraz Ahmed vs. Federation of Pakistan (2022 SCMR 1680). The Supreme Court specifically established that contractual employees do not possess an inherent right to regularization. However, their regularization may be considered based on their fitness, suitability, and the relevant laws, rules, and regulations of their respective department. An automatic right to regularization does not exist unless explicitly provided by law, and employees seeking it must demonstrate a statutory basis for their claim; otherwise, relief cannot be granted.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2018	Syed Sikandar Ali Shah (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	25-APR-25	Yes	The Supreme Court has ruled that contractual employees do not have an automatic right to regularization unless explicitly supported by law or policy. Regularization lacking such a legal foundation is deemed a violation of fairness, transparency, and meritocracy. Furthermore, the argument of discrimination in such cases has been rejected by the apex court, as discrimination presupposes a legal entitlement to the initial benefit, which is absent. Consequently, regularization necessitates legal backing and a transparent, merit-based procedure. The Supreme Court underscores that regularization is primarily an executive policy decision, generally not subject to judicial intervention. Courts can only review such policies if they infringe upon constitutional rights. The principle of institutional autonomy, crucial for effective decision-making, further supports judicial restraint in policy matters. This autonomy is vital for public institutions to protect public interest and uphold democratic values, including academic freedom.

They highlight that FMU adopted SBP's Monetized Salary Scales, approved by the PM, to attract market specialists with competitive packages. Petitioners contended that the same rationale necessitates implementing SBP's employee benefits at FMU, as SBP policies on appraisal, increments, TA/DA, and leave are already in effect for them. Despite lump-sum salaries upon appointment, governed by FMU rules (approved earlier than stated), petitioners were placed on SBP-aligned FMU scales. They pointed out that SBP officers at FMU received full SBP benefits per Rule 9(xiii). Thus, petitioners asserted that FMU Rule 31 entitled them to SBP's allowances, benefits, perks, and perquisites. Having served for several years without any issue, their non-confirmation contradicts FMU rules. They submitted that benefits like Employee Loans are limited to confirmed staff, causing frustration and resignations, including trained Analysts. Therefore, the petitioners requested that the application of SBP-related benefits under FMU Rule 31 from their appointment date and confirmation of their service as per FMU rules after completing probation.

Unlike strict limitations, its application depends on case facts and fairness. The Supreme Court in Farzand Raza Naqvi case 2004 SCMR 400) held that delay can bar writ petitions, but not if equitable, the petitioner was not indolent, and relief is just. Laches is less impactful for recurring issues, as past delay might not preclude action on current occurrences. The AAG argued that 2013-2018 (now 2025) is laches, countered by petitioners citing timely prior cases. 8. Considering the aforementioned facts and circumstances, without touching the merits of the case, we find no justification to entertain this petition in 2025. It is significantly barred by laches, as the cause of action arose in 2013 with the impugned order, yet the petitioner filed this petition in 2018, a delay of approximately five years. Furthermore, no compelling reason to exercise our discretionary powers has been presented. Consequently, the Petition, being ill-conceived and barred by laches, is hereby dismissed with pending application(s).

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2018	Shakil Ahmed Khan (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	08-MAY-25	Yes	The respondent department submitted that the Petitioner's ad-hoc appointment since 1988, which has not been regularized, does not confer automatic promotion rights like those of permanent employees. Promotion typically requires specific qualifications, and the Petitioner lacks a relevant certificate, as highlighted. The provided seniority list is outdated and allegedly irregular, rendering it unreliable for promotion claims. Even if a junior's promotion was illegal, it does not ensure the Petitioner's promotion. Claims of delayed BS-14 promotion are weakened by the Petitioner's ad-hoc status and lack of certification. The "rule of parity" argument is also undermined by these factors. Consequently, the Petitioner's automatic entitlement to promotion is unlikely. Regularization and meeting the qualifications for the higher post are necessary prerequisites and as such this petition is dismissed.

It is a well-established legal principle that a contractual employee does not possess a fundamental or acquired right to remain in their contractual position or to demand an extension or regularization of their service. Furthermore, it is settled law that courts generally avoid interfering with the policy-making authority of the Executive branch, unless it is demonstrated that such policies have violated the fundamental rights of citizens, which is not the situation presented in this case.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2025	Muhammad Kaleem (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	24-MAR-25	Yes	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.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

All executive and judicial authorities throughout Pakistan are obligated to act in aid of the Supreme Court, ensuring the enforcement of its judgments. As the Supreme Court is the final arbitrator of all cases where the decision has been reached, therefore the decision of the Supreme Court needs to be taken care of as directed in terms of Article 187(2) of the Constitution. 10. We must dismiss these petitions because the Supreme Court has already ruled on this.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Article 25 of the Constitution permits reasonable employee classification, provided it aligns with intended objectives. In this instance, the petitioner seeks enforcement of Sindh Government policies dated July 9, 2020, February 20, 2021, and June 2, 2020. Under Article 199, the court possesses the authority to review government policies for reasonableness if applicable in respondent university and to safeguard aggrieved parties' rights. Consequently, this petition is admissible based on established court precedents, and the respondents' objections are overruled.

They stated that the department had already submitted a summary to the Chief Minister of Sindh regarding the subject matter. This request appeared reasonable and is granted.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Munir Ahmed (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	21-AUG-25	Yes	Prima facie, there are conflicting positions among the parties. The KMC's counsel states that the property remains officially classified as commercial, and the NOCs were issued in accordance with the rules. This is supported by the stance of KBCA and the letter from the Sindh Master Plan Authority dated 28.10.2020, which has been placed on record. These are disputed/ contested facts before this court, and the court cannot decide the subject matter under Article 199 of the Constitution, which is well-settled is beyond the jurisdiction of this Court. The Supreme Court of Pakistan, in the case of Pakistan WAPDA Employees Pegham Union v. Member National Industrial Relations Commission, 2014 SCMR 1676, held that factual disputes cannot be resolved by the High Court. Additionally, in the case of Lahore Cantonment Cooperative Housing Society Limited, PLD 2002 SC 1068, the Supreme Court stated that "disputed questions of fact could not be dealt with by the High Court in its Constitutional jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution when other remedies are unavailable." The Supreme Court's judgment in Dr. Abdul Nabi's case (2023 SCMR 1267) supports this view. 16. In these circumstances, this Court cannot decide on the factual disputes regarding the residential status of the subject plot or the legality of its amalgamation, as these issues concern factual disputes, which as mentioned earlier is not within the domain of this Court under its constitutional jurisdiction. 17. In view of the aforesaid discussion, this petition, along with all application(s), is dismissed as being not maintainable.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha

(Respondent)	24-JUN-25	Yes	It is a settled principle that merit-based reinstatement entitles employees to full "back benefits" (retroactive pay), as established by the Supreme Court in the case of Muhammad Sharif v. Inspector General of Police (supra). Exceptions arise if reinstatement is due to procedural defects (pending fault determination) or reduced penalties. FR 54 treats periods of full paid absence as duty. The petitioner's counsel argues the 'gainful employment' exception does not apply, as the Respondent failed to prove it, and his pro bono legal work is not "gainful employment." However, given the Supreme Court's previous ruling disallowing the petitioner's back benefits due to insufficient evidence of non-gainful employment, this court cannot contradict that decision. The onus is on the petitioner to present new evidence in the proper forum to substantiate his non-employment during the intervening period. 11. For the reasons stated above, this petition is dismissed with pending application(s), if any.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon

Resorting to the Islamabad High Court or any other departmental forum is not permissible under the law as in the present case respondent No.6 attempted to circumvent the orders of this Court as well as Supreme Court based on opinion of the learned Advocate General Sindh and department concerned and they ought to have laid off their hands rather they could have advised the respondent No.6 to approach the Supreme Court for which his earlier Review Petition was dismissed, as such the stance of the respondent No.3 and 6 is discarded subject to final review of the Supreme Court if approach by the respondent No.6. Consequently, his attempts to seek favor from the department are not only unlawful but also contradict the principles established by the Supreme Court. Prima facie, all actions taken by the respondent department to accommodate Respondent No. 6 appear to be inconsistent with the law and the Supreme Court's decisions and, therefore, are not endorsed by this court. He shall be repatriated to his parent department forthwith, however, his seniority issue shall be decided in accordance with the Supreme Court decision on the subject issue.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Ihsan Ali (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	13-AUG-25	Yes	A successful job candidate does not have an absolute right to be appointed. The petitioner's claim is barred by the doctrine of laches because he waited from 2006 to 2022 to file his case. This doctrine holds that a legal right can become unenforceable if not pursued promptly, as excessive delay can create new rights for the opposing party. Therefore, even if an offer was made, the petitioner's failure to act promptly prevents the court from providing relief. 6. In light of the above facts and circumstances of the case, this petition is dismissed with no order as to cost.

On the aforesaid proposition, we are fortified by the decisions of the Supreme Court rendered in the cases of Dr. Syed Sabir Ali v. Government of Punjab through Secretary Health Punjab and others, (2008 SCMR 1535), Federation of Pakistan and others v. Amir Zaman Shinwari, Superintending Engineer, (2008 SCMR 1138) and Dr. Muhammad Amjad v. Dr. Israr Ahmed, (2010 SCMR 1466). 8. We for the aforesaid reasons, dispose of this constitutional petition and direct the competent authority of the official respondents to re-consider the case of the petitioner for proforma promotion in BS-19, after her retirement, by way of circulation within two months subject to the availability of vacancy in BPS-19 under the Recruitment Rules. As the petitioner has already retired on April 12, 2021, therefore, her proforma promotion will not affect the seniority of any person already in service and he would be entitled to his emoluments and pensionery benefits under the law.

This examination should determine if the petitioners and their colleagues, who performed comparable duties in wards/labs, emergency rooms, trauma centers, or their offices, are eligible for the Health Professional and Special Health Care Allowance, or any related allowances, according to existing laws and policies. Those who do not meet the legal requirements will be excluded. This review is to be completed within three months of this order. However, its implementation is contingent upon policy decisions by the Sindh government and the respondent Hospital. If the KMC/Hospital adopts such a policy, or has adopted it, the allowances may be granted. If the KMC/Hospital disagrees with the petitioners' claims after consultation with the Sindh Government, it must issue a reasoned order after providing the petitioners with a hearing. 9. Consequently, the petition and related applications are disposed of as directed.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2023	Allah Wadhio & Ors (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	11-SEP-25	Yes	Rule 7-A of the Sindh Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion & Transfer) Rules, 1974, allows for the promotion of civil servants even after they retire, provided the promotion was recommended by a committee while they were still in service. The rule states that a promotion can be approved from the date of the recommendation, and the retired officer does not need to take charge of the new post officially. The petitioners??? case does not fall under this provision because the petitioners were promoted from BPS-07 to BPS-16 on March 29, 2022. However, they had all retired in 2020, before the promotion committee met on January 31, 2022. As a result of their retirement, they were not considered for a further promotion to BPS-17, which 20 years of service as Senior livestock Assistant was/is required for the promotion 8.

The appeals of the appellants Muhammad Asif Arshad and Muhammad Adil Arshad have not been pressed on merits and they only prayed for reduction of their sentence based on the mitigating circumstances mentioned above. We find such mitigating circumstances to justify a reduction in their sentences. We also consider that the sentences awarded to them were too harsh, therefore, the conviction awarded to them by the trial court is maintained, however, both their sentences are reduced to the time which they have already undergone which includes the additional sentence of imprisonment in default of fine but the fine imposed on them is still outstanding against them which shall be recovered by NAB in accordance with the law. The appellants Muhammad Asif Arshad and Muhammad Adil Arshad are in custody, they are ordered to be released forthwith if not required in any other custody case.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2024	Dr. Pritam Das (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	15-JAN-25	Yes	So far as the stance of the respondents that pensionary benefits could be withheld on account of the allegations leveled against the petitioner, in our view, section 20 of the Sindh Civil Servants Act of 1973 deals with the pension and gratuity that civil servants are entitled to. However, the act does provide for certain circumstances under which a civil servant's pension may be withheld or reduced. These include if a civil servant is found guilty of misconduct or negligence during their service, their pension may be withheld or reduced. If a civil servant is convicted of a serious crime, their pension may be withheld or reduced. In some cases, a civil servant's pension may be withheld or reduced if he/she fails to comply with certain conditions set by the government. In other circumstances as discussed supra pensionary benefits cannot be stopped on account of criminal charges after the retirement of two years; and, is violative of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Haji Muhammad Ismail Memon, PLD 2007 SC 35. Thus, the competent authority of the parent department of the petitioner and the Chief Secretary, Sindh, are liable to release the pensionary amount of the petitioner and pay the pension amount and other ancillary benefits to the petitioner to which he is entitled under the law within two months from the date of receipt of this order. The competent authority of the respondent is also directed to recalculate the pensionary benefits of the petitioner and increases accrued thereon the withheld pensionary benefits with effect from stopping to date.

On the aforesaid proposition, we are fortified with the decision rendered by the Supreme Court in the case of Ali Azhar Khan Baloch vs. the Province of Sindh [2015 SCMR 456].

While the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) does not have explicitly named "statutory rules of service," it operates under a framework of regulations: Chartered Accountants Ordinance, 1961. This is the primary legislation governing ICAP's existence and functions. ICAP Bye-Laws. These bylaws provide the internal rules and procedures for ICAP's operations, including membership, examinations, and disciplinary matters. ICAP has internal policies and procedures that govern employment matters, including recruitment, performance management, and employee conduct. The ICAP Staff Service Rules, 2011 were framed by the respondent/Institute, these rules may not have the operates within a clear legal and regulatory framework of the respondent/Institute. 14. In view of what has been discussed above, without touching the merits of the case, the preliminary objection regarding the maintainability of the petition is sustained and the petition is held to be not maintainable in terms of Article 199 of the Constitution for the reason that non???statutory rules of service cannot be enforced through writ of mandamus in terms of ratio of the judgment passed by the Supreme Court in the case of Pakistan Electric Power Company supra.

Effective training and capacity building are essential for its success. The institution should prioritize enhancing capabilities, productivity, and public awareness. Constant litigation hinders progress. A culture of strict adherence to internal rules is necessary for smooth governance and administration. 12. Rule 19.25 mandates that Inspectors, SIs, and ASIs complete courses (A, B, C, and D) for promotion. This training is crucial for capacity building and ensuring officers possess the necessary skills and knowledge for their higher roles. Senior police officers must possess the skills and competencies befitting their rank. Continuous professional development is crucial for all officers.

The purpose of prescribing a particular length of service for becoming entitled to be considered for promotion to a higher grade, of course, is not without logic as the officer who is initially inducted to a particular post needs to serve on the said post to gain experience to hold the next higher post and to serve the public in a befitting manner. It is also important to note that granting of seniority to a civil servant without the actual length of service virtually violates the entire service structure as a civil servant inducted in Grade 17 by claiming such benefit without any experience be directly posted in any higher grade, which is neither the intention of the law nor of the equity.

If this is the position of the case, these cases need to be referred back to the competent authority within the Respondents' administration. This authority needs to examine the issue of either upgrading the Petitioners' posts or considering them for promotion according to the prevailing recruitment rules, provided they meet the eligibility and fitness criteria for the position as requested, and after providing them an opportunity to be heard if they are still employed in the respondent department. This approach aligns with the Supreme Court's decisions in similar cases as discussed supra. Consequently, these petitions are being disposed of under these specified terms.

This dispute can also be decided by the competent court as the lis could be in continuation of the proceedings. 8. Considering the aforementioned facts and circumstances, and without touching the merits of the case, this petition is dismissed, allowing the petitioner to seek resolution for her grievances through a court with full jurisdiction, in accordance with the law, if she chooses to do so.

978	2025 SHC KHI 1076	Const. P. 8521/2017 (D.B.) Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2017	Abid Hussain (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Ors (Respondent)	06-MAY-25	Yes	While the Respondents have consistently alleged the submission of a tampered Matric Science certificate through three inquiries, their counsel conceded that the verification report does not specify the group. Although the Respondents maintained that the SSC-II result is genuine as per board???s verification later 15.02.2017, they allege that the Petitioner altered the group from Science to General. The Petitioner has consistently stated his qualifications as Matric (General Group, 2009) and Intermediate (Humanities, 2011), denying any tampering of his Matriculation Certificate. He explained that he informed the authorities and presented his original General Group certificates when asked to produce a Science certificate. He also pointed to previous official records from 2012 and 2013 that acknowledged his Matric (General Group) qualification. Given the Larkana Board's verification of the Petitioner's SSC-II results as authentic, and the lack of clarity in the verification report regarding the specific group at the time of application, this court sees no need for further action. This matter has been pending since 2013 without significant progress, and the inquiry proceedings have already been judicially reviewed by this Court. As the Petitioner's SSC-II results are verified and found genuine by the BISE Larkana, the Respondents should now allow him to continue his employment based on this Matric Certificate. The remaining issue of the specific group needs to be resolved by the head of the department of the respondents, considering the verification report from the Larkana Board. The outstanding issues as agitated shall also be resolved in the intervening period within three months. 6. This petition is therefore disposed of under the aforementioned terms, along with any pending applications.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2016	Muhammad Kamaluddin (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Ors (Respondent)	21-APR-25	Yes	Previously, the private respondent (now relevant to the current petitioner's seniority claim) sought promotion as an Assistant Accountant BPS-15. This court, noting the official respondents' commitment to consider the promotion in an upcoming DPC within six months, disposed of that petition. Now, the current petitioner requests the court to retroactively correct his initial BPS to BPS-15 from his appointment date and place him above the private respondent in the seniority list. He also seeks to prevent the promotion of any junior employee to Assistant Accounts Officer BPS-16 until his case is resolved. The respondents submitted that the private respondent's BPS-15 appointment followed a different advertisement with distinct criteria and that the petitioner's promotion to BPS-15 was through a DPC. They also clarified that a later BPS-13 to BPS-14 upgrade was not retroactive. The private respondent asserted his seniority in the BPS-15 cadre, which the official respondents claimed the petitioner had never challenged before. They alleged the petitioner's current action is driven by ulterior motives following the private respondent's earlier petition and cite a previous court order (dated 20.4.2017 in C.P D No. 3006 2016) in their favor. This court concludes that this seniority issue needs to be resolved by the competent authority of the respondents after hearing both parties within three months. This petition stands disposed of in these terms.	Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)

However, in this specific instance, the petitioner was initially appointed as a Superintendent, Communication BS-16 in the Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB) of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) in 1991. Subsequently, his position was re-designated as Assistant Executive Engineer BS-17 following his B.Tech (Hons) qualification, as per an order dated March 8, 2023. Nevertheless, the petitioner's promotion prospects are contingent upon the legal precedent established in the case of Moula Bux Shaikh (2018 SCMR 2098), and a similar matter is currently under consideration by the Supreme Court. Consequently, this Court cannot examine the petitioner's eligibility for promotion to BS-18 based on his B.Tech degree, as the Supreme Court has already provided a definitive ruling on this matter.

However, the respondents have created the relationship between the petitioners and Hadeed Welfare Trust as master and servant to avoid the regularization of their long service, as the issue has already been set at naught by the judgment rendered by this Court in Hafeez Junejo???s case has been implemented in its letter and spirit. Additionally, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has already taken care of the issue of regularization of service of teaching staff in the aforesaid cases; as such, no further deliberation is required on our part. 9. Based on our scrutinizing of the record, we are left in no manner of doubt that the respondents are causing discriminatory treatment with the petitioners, which is violative of Article 25 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, which is a fundamental right and this Court under Article 199 of the Constitution can protect the fundamental rights of the citizens including the petitioners in service-related issues. 10. Accordingly, this petition is disposed of in terms of orders dated 21.03.2017 and 03.06.2019 passed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the aforesaid matters, with no order as costs.

Wafaqi Mohtasib, supra. Quoting the PESCO case, the Court reiterated that the Wafaqi Mohtasib lacks jurisdiction under Article 9 of The Order, 1983, to entertain complaints regarding appointments or recommend appointments by relaxing age limits in public sector companies, as these are executive functions. Consequently, the Supreme Court in the Sui Northern case held that the Wafaqi Mohtasib did not have jurisdiction to hear Respondent No.3's case against the Petitioner Company, and the Lahore High Court erred in dismissing the Writ Petition.

Besides the current legal framework does not recognize pro forma promotion for retired public servants. Without a legal basis, this court cannot compel the CAA to take an action impermissible by law. Guidance on this matter can be found in the judgments of the Supreme Court in the cases of Secretary Ministry of Finance, Finance Division, Government of Pakistan Versus Muhammad Anwer (2025 SCMR 153), National Bank of Pakistan through its President Versus Sajjad Ali Khaskhelli and another (2024 PLC (CS) 276), and Inspector General of Police Punjab versus Waris Ali (2024 SCMR 1109). 10. Based on the aforementioned discussion and keeping in view the legal position of the case, we find no merit in this petition that justifies intervention by this Court.

On the aforesaid proposition we are supported by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa v. Sher Aman (2022 SCMR 406). 7. In view of the above facts and circumstances we do not see any reason to entertain this petition as it is badly hit by laches; whereas, no case for exercising our discretion has been made out; hence the Petition, being misconceived and hit by laches, is hereby dismissed.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2014	Noor Ul Hassan (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Ors (Respondent)	21-MAY-25	Yes	It is urged by the parties that the UBL paid the Petitioner PKR 605,112/- as termination dues, also known as a Golden Handshake, which the Petitioner acknowledged receiving on November 22, 2000. The Petitioner's employment with UBL ended due to retrenchment while he was a officer, consistent with the service rules then in effect. The Petitioner has since reached the age of superannuation, rendering the question of reversing his termination from service purely academic. This makes prayer clauses B to D redundant, as his service with UBL had already ended. Furthermore, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has previously ruled on similar cases in United Bank Limited v. Ahsan Akhtar (1998 SCMR 68), the Supreme Court held that writ petitions filed by aggrieved former employees against UBL are not maintainable. The Supreme Court also allowed Civil Appeal Nos. 1487 to 1528 of 1998 in United Bank Ltd. v. Shamim Ahmed Khan & others (PLD 1999 SC 990) on May 25, 1999, which concerned the compulsory retrenchment scheme to reduce staff strength. Therefore, the issue of retrenchment cannot be revisited at this stage. Regarding the implementation of the Federal Cabinet's decision in the Petitioner's case, this is an old issue, and too much time has passed to issue any directions. Finally, no direction can be issued for the Petitioner's absorption into any department with the Golden Handshake due to his reaching the superannuation age. Consequently, all issues raised in this petition are no longer relevant, leading to the dismissal of the current petition and any pending applications. This petition is dismissed accordingly.

Courts can review policies only if they violate constitutional rights. The concept of institutional autonomy, essential for effective decision-making, supports non-interference in policy matters. This autonomy is vital for public institutions to safeguard public interest and promote democratic values, including academic freedom. 10. This Court has determined that The petitioners cannot ask for regularization of their service through constitutional petitions under Article 199 of the Constitution, however, it is for the respondent???s competent authority to consider their case in terms of their policy, if any, without discrimination within reasonable time.

When a special contract outlines all terms, including termination, it overrides any general policies. The law requires contracts to be honored as they were intended, and since the petitioners had already benefited from the contract, they could not now challenge its terms under Article 199 of the Constitution, through an appeal order. Therefore, this court without touching the merits of the case leave the petitioners to challenge the appellate order before the competent forum as this petition is held to be not maintainable and is dismissed.

It seems the departmental inquiry was intentionally skipped, creating procedural loopholes to technically benefit the petitioner. Remanding this case for a new inquiry now seems futile. Given the petitioner???s past conduct, a new inquiry would likely be a mere formality, potentially leading to the petitioner's reinstatement with full back benefits, effectively nullifying the punishment. After such a significant time lapse, an inquiry would not serve any constructive purpose by the order of this court. However, since the petitioner was removed with a stigma and seemingly denied a proper chance to present his defense, he is free to apply to the competent authority for a revival of proceedings from the beginning, following due legal process. If the respondents have concrete evidence against the petitioner, the law shall be followed in the strict sense; however, the competent authority, before deciding on the subject proposition, shall hear the petitioner without fail. The respondents shall also look into the decision of the Supreme Court. This exercise must be undertaken within three months. 8.

Absent such a policy or statute, this Court lacks jurisdiction to order regularization. 10. We find that the petitioners have failed to establish grounds for the regularization of their service. Their situation does not meet the criteria outlined in Section 3 of the Sindh (Regularization of Ad-hoc and Contract Employees) Act, 2013, nor is it consistent with the Government of Sindh's regularization policy. Accordingly, the instant petition, along with all associated applications, is dismissed, and no costs are awarded.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2025	Allan Khan (Petitioner) VS Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)	07-AUG-25	Yes	The transfers and postings are administrative matters and do not violate civil servants' fundamental rights. Supreme Court precedents on the subject issue are clear as such this Court affirmed that civil servants have no legal right to a specific posting. Transfer orders are an administrative prerogative of the competent authority, intended to ensure the smooth functioning of the department. These orders can only be challenged if they are issued for "extraneous reasons" or violate statutory rules, neither of which is proven in this case as the reasons are obvious as pointed out and discussed supra, as such this Court cannot intervene. Besides, the petitioner's transfer after a few months is not considered excessive. 11. The petitioner failed to demonstrate any illegality or malice in the transfer order, and therefore, this petition lacks merit, which is accordingly dismissed.

For the reasons stated, we find no error in the impugned order of the respondent-university. This petition is meritless and accordingly dismissed along with the pending application(s).

The Secretary Local Government Department (Respondent) should resolve this issue at his end by coordinating with KMC and DMC-Central, where the petitioners claimed employment. If the petitioners' appointments are verified as genuine, their regularization case must be considered.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Liaqat Ali (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	05-AUG-25	Yes	The jurisdiction of this Court under Article 199 of the Constitution is limited to the extent of ensuring that state functionaries do what they are required by law to do and refrain from doing what they are prohibited by law to do. Unless an act or omission of a state functionary falls within the above parameters, it is not liable to be interfered with. 8. We are of the view that all its directives were followed when the petitioner accepted the regularization. This court finds no violation of fundamental right of the petitioner that would justify its intervention through constitutional jurisdiction. The petition appears to have been filed with ulterior motives and is therefore dismissed, along with all pending applications.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Zulfiqar Ali Memon and Others (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	11-AUG-25	Yes	The Supreme Court in the recent judgment, The Province of Sindh through Chief Secretary & others Vs Ghulam Shabbir and others, passed in (Civil Appeals Nos.52-K to 71-K of 2022) vide judgment dated 30.12.2025 has observed that the competent authority was/is expected to carefully consider the promotions of candidates who hold acting charge positions. This consideration should be retroactive, dating back to when the promotional posts first became vacant. However, the service tribunal's decision was not deemed illegal because it simply directed the competent authority to re-evaluate the case rather than making the final promotion decision itself.This petition stand dismissed along with pending application(s) if any.

Intervention is warranted only if bias, inadequate defense, unfair procedures, statutes, or regulations are breached, fundamental rights are infringed (Right to education, expression), and the decision is manifestly unjust. Courts prioritize fairness and uphold fundamental rights while respecting the autonomy of educational institutions. On the aforesaid proposition, we are guided by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Khyber Medical University and others v. Aimal Khan and others, PLD 2022 Supreme Court 92. 9.

To invoke the jurisdiction of this Court, the petitioner must demonstrate a vested/legal right or interest that has been violated, which the petitioners failed to demonstrate by producing cogent material on record, merely saying that reclassifying Plot No. 12-B for commercial use is not sufficient until and unless it is proved in evidence that it is illegal as the Board of DHA has no power and authority to do so under the relevant regulations, which involve zoning approvals and environmental impact assessments, depending on the proposed commercial use. Besides it is yet to be determined that Plot No. 12-B, a corner plot on Commercial Avenue, was always shown as an open plot for residential purposes, however, respondents had shown the plot's purpose as a "Sewerage Pump" station on older maps and now relocated it somewhere else. These all facts require evidence and this court at this stage cannot give concrete findings on the subject issue.

The regularization of the petitioners shall be considered from the date of their regularization. On the aforesaid proposition, we are guided by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Deputy Director Food Faisalabad Division, Faisalabad, etc. vs Muhammad Tauqir Shah and others vide order dated 10.03.2021passed in C.P.43-L/2021 to C.P.58-L/2021.

This factual position is also a cause of great concern these days in our Country as well. On numerous occasions, we come across the involvement of Police personnel in routine as well as heinous crimes, and even if they are apprehended, are let off by the Courts due to faulty and supportive investigation by their brethren by extending the benefit of the doubt. Taking guidance from these observations, it is observed that this must stop and Courts are also required to play their part and let this issue be decided by the Executive / Appointing Authority which in all fairness is in a much better position to ascertain facts and the relevant ground realities.

However, the petitioner's case involves the enforcement of the university's service rules. The court cannot hear the transfer order challenge as it falls within the terms and conditions of service. Regarding the quo warranto writ, the petitioner must file a separate petition to challenge the private respondents' appointment orders keeping in view that one of the respondents has retired from service as pointed out by the counsel for the respondent university. 12.

However, if the cause of action for these petitions still exists, the petitioners retain the right to initiate appropriate legal action, including proceedings under a writ of quo warranto, if they believe the appointments of the private respondents are contrary to law and if such legal recourse is permissible.

All executive and judicial authorities throughout Pakistan are obligated to act in aid of the Supreme Court, ensuring the enforcement of its judgments. As the Supreme Court is the final arbitrator of all cases where the decision has been reached, the decision of the Supreme Court needs to be taken care of as directed in terms of Article 187(2) of the Constitution.

Of Pakistan and ors (Respondent)	11-APR-25	Yes	The petitioners are reportedly retired, and one has passed away during the case's proceedings, although no updated title reflecting this has been submitted. The core issue is the restoration of their basic pay to its pre-April 2012 level, particularly considering the cessation of Pakistan Steel's operations in 2015 and the retirement benefits already received by the petitioners. As such, no further cause of action appears to exist. The petition seems to have become ineffective ("infructuous") due to the closure of the Steel Mills after 2015. Therefore, remanding the case to Pakistan Steel or its affiliated company to re-fix the petitioners' pay after their retirement would be unproductive. Consequently, this petition is dismissed.

Her best course of action would be to look out for and apply to relevant teaching vacancies advertised by the Sindh government, provided she meets the stipulated criteria for those posts. 7.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2018	Kaleem Ahmed Siddiqui (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	25-APR-25	Yes	The core argument is that the 1999 Move-over Policy entitles an employee to the next higher scale one year after reaching their maximum pay. Reaching the maximum is presented as an independent criterion, not subordinate to the eight-year service requirement. Thus, employees at their maximum should not be denied move-over solely for not completing eight years, as this is an alternative condition intended to prevent pay stagnation without promotion. In this case, the petitioner, who retired on 24th May 2018, claims SVP move-over eligibility from 01/01/2017. He reached his VP scale's maximum on 01/01/2016 (promoted 01/04/2015), and the ZTBL policy allows a move-over one year after reaching maximum post-promotion. However he was simply denied his moveover based on his recovery performance being as Manager in the year 2016-2017, which prima facie is against th merit based on the anology that the employee is entitiiled to next higher scale one year after reaching maximum pay whereas petitioner reached his VP scalces maximum in the year 2016, however the denial is not based on merit, rather based on recovery, which can not be made an excuse to deny the benefit of move over policy by adding the provision in agenda item No.30 in Clause a and b which is conditional criteria cannot supersede the merit, thus the declining the request of the petitioner is not in consonance with the basic spirit of the policy.

Without touching the merits of the cases, these petitions can be resolved by directing the respondent department to look into the issue involved in the petition if the petitioners??? cause still subsists. In the meanwhile, the respondents are mandated to advertise all job vacancies that have not been previously advertised. This would ensure that all eligible individuals have the opportunity to compete for these positions if vacant based purely on merit through a competitive process.

Consequently, the petition and any related applications are dismissed. The Petitioner has to pursue his remedy through an appeal before the competent authority.

Sindh High Court, Karachi	Writ Jurisdictions	2022	Hamza Faheem (Petitioner) VS Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent)	28-AUG-25	Yes	The Constitution petition is not maintainable against the service matters of Pakistan's Armed Forces due to the constitutional bar in Article 199(3) of the Constitution of Pakistan, which prevents High Courts from issuing orders regarding the terms and conditions of service or actions taken in relation to Armed Forces members. This constitutional provision aims to maintain discipline within the forces by restricting judicial interference in their internal affairs. On the aforesaid proposition, we are guided by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Ex. Lt. Col. Anwar Aziz (PA-7122) vs. Federation of Pakistan (PLD 2001 SC549). We, therefore, in the absence of the exceptions as enunciated in the case law cited above, cannot travel beyond and dilate upon the merits of the instant case and interfere with any Order passed under the hierarchy of Respondents, pursuant to their applicable laws. However, if the appeal of the petitioner is pending, the same shall be decided within three months after hearing the petitioner. 6. In the light of the foregoing, we are of the view that the case of petitioner squarely falls within the ambit of the ouster clause of Article 199(3) of the Constitution, therefore, there is a bar of jurisdiction of this Court from entertaining the instant Constitutional Petition, which is accordingly dismissed.

It is also held that even otherwise, any institution opting for regularization of its employees must be either mandated by law or must carry out regularization through a well-thought-out policy of the institution concerned laying down the criteria and the process for regularization; performance evaluation of the contractual employee must be assessed to determine if the employee meets the standards required for a regular position; there must be availability of positions that match the skills and experience of the contractual employee;This petition is dismissed as it seeks to reopen a reassessment already conducted by the respondent department, rendering it not maintainable at this stage.

He retired from government service on his own request, effective August, 1, 2020. After his retirement, he received all his due benefits, including gratuity/communication, leave encashment. GP fund payment, retirement grant, and a monthly pension. Petitioner later appealed to be re-enrolled or reinstated in service. The request was forwarded to higher authorities, who cited two government letters from 1981 and 2019 that bar such re-enrollment in government service. Based on this policy, his appeal was rejected vide order dated 31.12.2021 and the petitioner was informed accordingly. 6.

On the aforesaid proposition, we are fortified by the judgment of the Supreme Court dated 14.01.2020 passed in the case of Fayaz Khan v.
