332/2018 Const. P. Amjad Ali (Petitioner) V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Ors (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 28-APR-25
It is well settled now that contractual employees of NADRA (which lacks statutory service rules), the petitioner could not invoke writ jurisdiction in terms of law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Chairman NADRA v. Muhammad Ali Shah (2017 SCMR 1979), holding that contractual employees of statutory bodies cannot use the High Court's constitutional jurisdiction to renegotiate regularization terms. In another case Supreme Court in the case of Maj. (Retd.) Syed Muhammad Tanveer Abbas v. Federation of Pakistan (2019 SCMR 984), stating contractual employees cannot challenge termination via writ. These precedents supported our view against the maintainability of the Constitution Petition.
