                                    Mr. Muhammad Sajjad Haider, Dy. Director, HR

            The case of the petitioner is that father of the petitioner Qazi Abdul Hafeez Anwar was in the employment of respondents as Pesh Imam in BPS-12, who retired on 24.11.2014 on attaining the age of superannuation. Learned counsel argued that after the retirement of the petitioner’s father, he approached the respondents for his appointment on son quota.  Learned counsel referred to a note-sheet filed at page 17 of the file, which is a letter, issued by Assistant Director (Admn.) HR-I, in which he proposed that petitioner may be appointed as Helper on adhoc basis at Jamia Masjid Shoukat ul Islam against son quota. It is further contended that after that no action has been taken by the respondents and the matter is still pending. Learned counsel also shown us a Settlement Deed dated 28^th December 1994, in which Item No. 17 (clause 42)  relates to the employment on son quota, which shows consensus that recruitment of sons of retired and deceased employees shall be exempted from ban/embargo. When we confronted this Deed of Settlement to the learned counsel for the respondents and Mr. Muhammad Sajjad Haider, Dy. Director, HR they clearly stated that the matter will be placed before the competent authority to decide whether the petitioner is entitled for the appointment to any suitable post or not within a period of 45 days. 

            The petitioner is satisfied, therefore, this petition alongwith pending applications, stands disposed of with directions to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner  and his qualification within 45 days’ time and if he is found suitable, it is expected that he will be given a fair chance to serve the respondent’s establishment.
