1001/2024 Const. P. Iftikhar Ahmed (Petitioner) V/S Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 23-SEP-24
Learned Assistant A.G Sindh has resisted these petitions on the premise that there are disputed questions of facts involved in the matters, as such these petitions cannot be entertained. At this stage, we confronted him with the proposition that the issue of the salary of the petitioners, if any needs to be resolved at the end of the respondents' departments and this Court cannot decide the subject issue under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. However, at the same time, if the petitioners are working with the Government Departments, their salary issue must be resolved within a reasonable time, as this issue cannot be left unattended for an indefinite period. Learned A.A.G without filing comments, though notices have been issued to the respondents to put their defense, they failed to do so for the reason best known to him, submit that these matters are required to be resolved by the competent authority of the respondents if the cause of the petitioners still subsists. The proposal seems to be reasonable.
