Order with signature of Judge

For Katcha Peshi

29.05.2014

Mr.Mehmood A.H.Baloch, advocate for petitioner

Mr.Asim Iqbal, advocate for respondent No.2

………

            The petitioner has claimed implementation of judgment/orders of hon’ble Supreme Court with the directions against respondents to fix salary of petitioner and seniority in Grade-VI with arrears and all back benefits as done in the case of Dr.Anwar Sahito by means of corrigendum dated 31.05.2010 issued by Management. During the course of arguments, when we asked that whether any representation has been moved to Managing Director, SSGCL, or not? learned counsel pointed out page-89 which is a request/appeal to Managing Director, SSGCL, in which petitioner and five other persons lodged their grievance with request that their reinstatement order may be made effective from 15th February, 2009. They have also claimed that they are entitled for the Grade-VII on 15th January, 2010 as per policy of respondent which was applied for Dr.Munawar Hayat Ahmed. They have also claimed back benefits, arrears and allowances according to Ordinance, 2009 and their seniority w.e.f., 1994. Learned counsel for SSGCL opposes all such contentions. According to him, petitioner was reinstated in accordance with policy and he cannot claim promotion. However, he submits that if reasonable time is allowed, representation made by petitioner to Managing Director will be decided. We feel that representation filed by petitioner should be decided by Managing Director of respondent No.2.

Hence in view of above, we dispose of this petition with the directions to respondent No.2 to decide pending representation/appeal of petitioner dated 04.10.2010 within a period of two months and communicate decision to petitioner. However, it is clarified that in case petitioner feels aggrieved, he may invoke appropriate jurisdiction according to law.
