2950/2014 Const. P. Suhail Ahmed and Ors (Petitioner) V/S Province of Sind and Ors (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)
Order Date: 16-APR-25
The policy governing up-gradation takes into account structural improvements, increased responsibilities, and pay scale inconsistencies, generally disallowing individual-based up-gradations. 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. Let a copy of this order be transmitted to the respondents for compliance.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
