Amir Ali and Others V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1658, 2025 SHC KHI 1671In 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).Read more

This process must be completed within three months. 9. This petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.Read more

14.Const. P. 2668/2021 (D.B.) Dhoni Das V/S Province of Sindh and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1655, 2025 SHC KHI 1668Regularization of employment hinges on legal backing. 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.Read more

22.Const. P. 2328/2021 (D.B.) Muhammad Tanveer V/S M/s Pakistan Steel Mills Corp Ltd and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1662, 2025 SHC KHI 1665The 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.Read more

23.Const. P. 7606/2017 (D.B.) Khurram Faizan V/S Province of Sindh and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1661, 2025 SHC KHI 1674The 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.Read more

Noor Muhammad Sahito V/S Province of Sindh and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1659, 2025 SHC KHI 1672Before parting with this order it is observed that the petitioner reached superannuation without formal retirement notification, as ACE had already repatriated him to the Services, General Administration & Coordination Department (which he failed to join in due course), and the Chief Secretary of Sindh is directed to conduct an inquiry into this matter. The inquiry should aim to determine responsibility for these actions after hearing from all involved individuals. Additionally, the Chief Secretary of Sindh is to investigate whether the petitioner is entitled to a retirement notification and associated service benefits, considering his continuous service with ACE until his superannuation. A speaking order on this aspect is to be issued within three months after hearing the petitioner. 11. For these reasons, this petition is disposed of.Read more

Naveed Ahmed and Others V/S Province of Sindh and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1660, 2025 SHC KHI 1673Regularization requires an executive policy or specific statute. 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.Read more

26.Const. P. 4148/2020 (D.B.) Ghulam Abbass V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1663, 2025 SHC KHI 1675We 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.Read more

33.Const. P. 4810/2020 (D.B.) Tanveer Ahmed Siddiqui V/S Province of Sindh & Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1578It is well settled that contractual appointments ended with contract expiration/termination, and a temporary/contract employee cannot claim permanent status as a matter of right, nor can he /she be reinstated merely for continuing service beyond his/her term after reaching superannuation age. 8. 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. Consequently, this petition is dismissed, with no order regarding costs.Read more

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. This petition is accordingly disposed of, with the regularization process to be completed within three months, contingent on the petitioners' educational qualifications and eligibility for the respective posts.Read more

38.Const. P. 5602/2020 (D.B.) Bilal Mirza V/S Province of Sindh and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1580The respondents' actions in this case appear negligent and reckless. 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. This petition is disposed of in terms of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Senior Superintendent of Police Vs Shahid Nazir 2022 SCMR 327.Read more

45.Const. P. 8501/2018 (D.B.) Mushtaq Ahmed V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1561Given that the HPSB, the competent authority, determined the petitioner was not fit for promotion to a merit-based selection post, this Court cannot re-evaluate that decision under Article 199 of the constitution at this stage, when we are in 2025. 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.Read more

56.Const. P. 1475/2014 (D.B.) Noor Ul Hassan V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1533It 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.Read more

Given PSM's precarious financial state, with over Rs. 100 billion in losses and Rs. 110 billion in liabilities, this Court deemed it inappropriate to grant the petitioners' financial benefits in terms of revised pay scales in 2011 and 2020.

64.Const. P. 4824/2022 (D.B.) Taufique Ahmed & Others V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1522Probation 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.Read more

65.Const. P. 1257/2021 (D.B.) Ghulam Bashir Bughio V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1534It is well-settled law that the cancellation of the individual's promotions without proper, separate notices was/is unlawful. 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.Read more

76.Const. P. 3100/2021 (D.B.) Muhammad Nusrat and Others V/S Province of Sindh and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1415The 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.Read more

115.Const. P. 4596/2020 (D.B.) Muhammad Jam V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1347The Supreme Court has ruled that proforma promotion is a remedy for individuals who miss promotion due to administrative errors or delays and subsequently retire. 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.Read more

123.Const. P. 1406/2024 (D.B.) Manzoor Ahmed V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1337Considering the rulings of the Supreme Court in the aforementioned cases, we are of the considered opinion that the sole legal avenue available to Respondent No. 6 is to file a Review Petition before the Apex Court itself. 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. As such this petition is disposed of in the above terms.Read more

Upgrading a job, especially one being ended, is a decision for the Ministry of Defence, and this Court may not interfere at this point.

128.Const. P. 5893/2016 (D.B.) Syed Salman Hasan and Ors V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1025Learned 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.Read more

129.Const. P. 3170/2020 (D.B.) Shahzad Hussain and Others V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1024Cantonment Boards, operating under the Cantonments Act, 1924, and overseen by the ML&C Department, primarily govern their employees' service terms through the Pakistan Cantonment Servants Rules, 1954. 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. This petition is disposed of under these terms.Read more

130.Const. P. 6241/2018 (D.B.) Shakil Ahmed Khan V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, KarachiThe 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.Read more

If these degrees were mandatory, he seems to be ineligible for advance increments, which were meant for extra qualifications. His entitlement hinges on the Recruitment Rules in effect at the time he obtained the degrees. Despite the scheme's termination in 2001, any previously earned rights may still be valid.

Altaf Hussain V/S Fed. of Pakistan & Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1029In the case of National Bank of Pakistan (Supra), the Supreme Court held in Paragraph 3 that the Respondent's unchallenged supersession in 2010 rendered his subsequent constitutional petition before the High Court time-barred (suffered from laches). Furthermore, the Respondent's claim for pro forma promotion lacked basis in the relevant service rules. 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. Consequently, the petition was converted into an appeal, allowed, and the Peshawar High Court's judgment was set aside.Read more

134.Const. P. 5570/2017 (D.B.) Amjad Ali Pechuho V/S N.B.P and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1026The Supreme Court's 2021 judgment declared the Sacked Employees Ordinance 2009 and the Act 2010 unconstitutional, rendering the Petitioner's reinstatement under the Ordinance and his higher grade claim under the Act legally questionable. 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.Read more

Ms. Faizah Aleem V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1073If this is the position of the case, the petitioner can approach the civil court, as the Civil courts are the primary forum for resolving disputes arising from contracts, including employment contracts. They have the jurisdiction to examine the terms of the agreement, hear evidence, and award remedies for breach of contract. The petitioner's claim falls squarely within the purview of civil courts, which can pass appropriate order on the subject matter if deemed the impugned order unlawful, as the termination of the contract occurred on 10.02.2020, whereas the subject petition was filed two days after such termination order, though petitioner claims not received. This dispute can also be decided by the competent court as the lis could be in continuation of the proceedings. 8.

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).

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.

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.

160.Const. P. 1768/2025 (D.B.) Faiz Muhammad Palari V/S Govt of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1053This 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.Read more

162.Const. P. 7657/2018 (D.B.) Muhammad Irshad V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1038The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that promotion is not an inherent right of a civil or public servant, and therefore, cannot be demanded as such. 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.Read more

164.Const. P. 1802/2019 (D.B.) Ghulam Hussain Khokhar and Ors V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1032In 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.Read more

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.Read more

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.Read more

168.Const. P. 1915/2019 (D.B.)

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.

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.

Manzoor Ahmed Jokhio V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1062The 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.Read more

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.

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.

178.Const. P. 561/2018 (D.B.) Muhammad Yousuf Malik & Ors V/S Province of Sindh & Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1063As per the Syed Munawar Ali case (2016 SCMR 859), post-upgradation needs restructuring, reform, or public interest; it is post-specific, not for personal gain or lateral moves, and is illegal without these justifications. 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 petition, along with pending application(s), is disposed of accordingly.Read more

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.Read more

Jawed Ahmed V/S Chief Sect: & Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1064Laches, an equitable defense, bars relief for unreasonable delay that prejudices the opponent. 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).Read more

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.

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.

184.Const. P. 6240/2018 (D.B.) Muhammad Bakhtiar Ahmed V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 1065The 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.Read more

203.Const. P. 4545/2018 (D.B.) Kaleem Ahmed Siddiqui V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 379The 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.Read more

Abdul Razzak Memon V/S National Bank of Pakistan and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 277At first glance, the previously reached settlement between the parties cannot be revisited now. 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.

223.Const. P. 8715/2017 (D.B.) Ehsanullah Khan V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 514The 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.Read more

227.Const. P. 5627/2016 (D.B.) Muhammad Kamaluddin V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 329Previously, 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.Read more

229.Const. P. 805/2016 (D.B.) Sarfaraz Ahmed V/S N.B.P and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 302The 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.Read more

The court has further directed the department to review the matter, considering that significant time has passed since 2016.

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.

236.Const. P. 6595/2017 (D.B.) Ms. Khizra Saeed V/S Fed of Pakistan & Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 250The regularization of contractual employees through writ jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution is contingent upon its permissibility under existing law and a universally applicable policy decision, provided the organization in question falls under the High Court's writ jurisdiction. 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.Read more

241.Const. P. 5575/2016 (D.B.) Syed Sajjad Ali Shah V/S Chief Sect: and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 656The 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."Read more

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.Read more

However, the Respondents also acknowledged that the Marine Fisheries Department (MFD) had already submitted up-gradation proposals for Research Assistants to BPS-14 to the relevant central bodies, with previous proposals facing delays, and that this matter is currently under their review. 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.

In the meanwhile, the respondents are mandated to advertise all job vacancies that have not been previously advertised.

262.Const. P. 2792/2015 (D.B.) Muhammad Asif V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 475The 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.Read more

Abdul Wahid and others V/S Fed: of Pakistan and others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 241From 2010-2016, before formal FMU rules, petitioners submitted that Clause 31 of 2009 rules mandated applying State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) policies to their perks and privileges. 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.Read more

(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.Read more

Of Pakistan and ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 207The 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.Read more

268.Const. P. 1015/2014 (D.B.) LT CDR (R) Dr. Muhammad Nawaz V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Ors Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 583The primary submissions of the petitioner is that the staff plot is a contractual entitlement. 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).Read more

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.Read more

Zoya and another V/S The Province of Sindh and others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 503Additionally, the main objectives of the police is to apprehend offenders, investigate crimes, and prosecute them before the Courts, also to prevent the commission of crime, and above all, ensure law and order to protect citizens' lives and property. The law enjoins the police to be scrupulously fair to the offender and the Magistracy is to ensure a fair investigation and fair trial for an offender. Unfortunately, these objectives have remained unfulfilled. Deviations of police officers and police excesses in dealing with the law and order situation have been the subject of adverse comments from this Court as well as from other Courts, but they have failed to have any corrective effect on it. The police have the power to arrest a person even without obtaining a warrant of arrest from a Court for cognizable offenses. The presence of this power casts an obligation on the police, and they must bear in mind, as held by this Court from time to time in its various pronouncemnts, that if a person is arrested for a crime, his constitutional and fundamental rights must not be violated. Primarily, the Police Officers are required to protect and not abduct.Read more

Nizar Ali Fazwani V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 220Coming to the case in hand, it appears that the Ayyan Ali case supra establishes that mere criminal involvement does not justify ECL placement, which confirms that citizens have a fundamental right to liberty under Article 9, which, combined with Articles 4 and 15, includes the right to travel, unless restricted by a law enacted in the public interest. Numerous judgments have affirmed that the mere registration of a crime does not constitute a "public interest" justification for restricting a person's liberty. Therefore, the Respondent's actions in placing the Petitioner's name on the ECL based on the criminal case are inconsistent with established legal principles.

321.Const. P. 1156/2025 (D.B.) Muhammad Kaleem V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi 2025 SHC KHI 633So 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.Read more
