Mr.Qutub-uz-Zaman,
advocate for the petitioner
Mr.Abdul
Jalil Zubedi, AAG
Muhammad
Ali Mazhar, J: The petitioner is in fact relying on a
Notification dated 29.07.2016, issued by Secretary to Government of Sindh, Agriculture Supply & Prices Department. Through
this Notification, the petitioner has been posted to serve as Secretary
(BS-17), Market Committee, Karachi as a stopgap
arrangement till further orders. The petitioner has prayed that the respondents
be restrained not to discontinue this arrangement. In our view, the stopgap
arrangement is made for some limited period and it does not confer any vested
right to any person to hold this post or claim any legitimate expectation.
Stopgap arrangement is meant only till such time regular induction is made. The
petitioner in his prayer clause has prayed that he should not be dismissed from
this job, which is in fact a wrong assumption as removal of a person from a
post assigned to him as stopgap arrangement cannot be considered as dismissal
from service. Learned AAG present in court, waives notice, copy has been
supplied to him and he is also of the same view.
This
petition is dismissed alongwith pending applications.
