3496/2022 Const. P. Zulfiqar Ali Memon and Others (Petitioner) V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon Order Date: 11-AUG-25
The Supreme Court in the recent judgment, The Province of Sindh through Chief Secretary & others Vs Ghulam Shabbir and others, passed in (Civil Appeals Nos.52-K to 71-K of 2022) vide judgment dated 30.12.2025 has observed that the competent authority was/is expected to carefully consider the promotions of candidates who hold acting charge positions. This consideration should be retroactive, dating back to when the promotional posts first became vacant. However, the service tribunal's decision was not deemed illegal because it simply directed the competent authority to re-evaluate the case rather than making the final promotion decision itself.This petition stand dismissed along with pending application(s) if any.
