Mr. Ahmed Ali Shahani Assistant Advocate General Sindh.

.................

 

Petitioners in this petition have challenged the regularization of Deputy District Attorneys, Solicitor Department, Government of Sindh vide notification dated 13.08.2015. These Attorneys were appointed long time back on contract basis. These contract employees / Deputy District Attorneys of Solicitor Department, Government of Sindh have been regularized vide above notification. Petitioner has never challenged the contractual appointment of these Attorneys either earlier or through this petition. These contract Attorneys have been working with the Department for the last so many years. When enquired as to what interest they have against the regularization of the Deputy District Attorneys, the petitioner was answerless. Since he was never appointed as a contract employee / Deputy District Attorney of the Department, he could only challenge the regularization in case he had challenged the contractual appointment of Deputy District Attorneys which was done long time back. Since the very appointment of Deputy District Attorneys was not challenged, therefore, the petitioners are not aggrieved persons and hence their regularization through present proceedings cannot be challenged. These Attorneys were regularized in pursuance of section 3 of the Sindh (Regularization of Adhoc and Contract Employees) Act, 2013 and hence the petitioners, though, they may be the practicing advocates, cannot be termed as aggrieved persons on account of not challenging the very initial appointment under contract basis.

 

These are the reasons for the short order announced on 15.08.2018.
