Mr. Shakeel Ahmed Kalwar, Advocates for the petitioner.

Mr. Ghulam Abbas Akhtar, Advocate for respondents-Railways.

Mr. Muhammad Hamzo Buriro, Deputy Attorney General.

Through this Petition, the petitioner has sought the following relief(s):

a) To declare the act of the respondents not to release the salaries of petitioner and further direct them to reinstate into his earlier service and regularize/confirm him for the said post of Gang-man as per rules & policy.

b) To grant and other relief, which has not been specifically prayed for, under the circumstances of the present matter.

c) To award cost of the petition.

Comments have been filed wherein it is stated that the petitioner was engaged as a temporary Gangman on 29-12-2012, and thereafter, he worked up to 12-09-2015 on temporary basis and then remained absent unauthorizedly. Thereafter, in some fresh application, he was again called for interview, but could not be selected as he was placed at serial No.69 in the merit list, whereas, the recruitment was made only for seventeen (17) posts.

After going through the comments and the contents of the Petition, we are of the view that no case for indulgence is made out on behalf of the petitioner, as apparently, he remained absent as well as he was a temporary employee, hence, no question for regularization or reinstatement arises. Moreover, the appropriate remedy even otherwise was before NIRC and not before this Court. Accordingly, this Petition being misconceived is hereby dismissed.
