Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Naich AAG.

                                 ********   

           

          Through instant Constitutional petition, petitioners have challenged the act the respondents appointing the respondents No.7 to 19 on political grounds without lawful authority and discriminatory treatment has been done with the petitioners. However, the Counsel for the petitioners already withdrawn the prayer clause-b of this petition.

 

2.       Learned Counsel for petitioners contended that the main grievance of the petitioners are that they have donated the plot to the Education Department free of costs for the construction of the girls School and the respondents No. 7 to 19  who are stranger to the village Shahban Lashari in violation of basic norms of law and discrimination has been made with the petitioners for not appointment the petitioner due to political figures on the basis of nepotism and favoritism and have deprived them from their legal and legitimate rights.  

 

3.       Learned AAG submits that the respondents No.7 to 19 were appointed in accordance with law as they are local inhabitant and familiar to the Village Shahban Lashari hence, the claim of the petitioners in respect of appointment of the respondents is against the norms of law. He submits that instant petition may be dismissed being meritless. 

 

 

4.       Heard learned Counsel for parties.

         

5.       In response to notice, the respondent No.4 Executive District Education Officer, Ghotki @ Mirpur Mathelo has furnished his comments. In reply of the comments, the respondent No.4 negated the stance of petitioners as the respondent No.7 to 19 were appointed after fulfillment of all legal codal formalities. Besides, the respondents Nos. 7 to 19 are local persons and no one is stranger from outside. From the perusal of letter dated 20.04.2010 issued by Head Mistress Government High School Shahban Lashari, it appears that petitioners have not made Javed Ahmed Lashari, Nazir Ahmed Lashari, Riaz Ahmed Lashari, Ghulam Sarwar Lashari and Shah Dino Lashari as party in the array of respondents for the reasons best known to them. The claim of the petitioners has vehemently been denied by the official respondents in their comments that no stranger has been appointed in the respondents’ department.  The petitioners have also failed to point out that they were discriminated upon by the respondents by appointing the respondents 7 to 19. Furthermore, there is no complaint that the petitioners have been discriminated against and other similarly placed candidates given the appointment letters. Learned Counsel for petitioner has failed to point out any irregularity or illegality in the recruitment process for appointment of respondents 7 to 19 which may have deprived the right of appointment of petitioners. In such circumstances, the appointing authority may use the discretion vested with them like petitioners’ appointments.

 

6.       We have carefully considered all the facts stated (supra) and come to the conclusion that disputed questions so also factual controversy is involved in this petition which cannot be resolved under writ jurisdiction of this Court as the same is to be resolved by the competent Court of law after recording evidence. Accordingly, instant petition being misconceived is dismissed along with listed application.
