351/2025 Const. P. Qazi Tariq Ali (Petitioner) V/S Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Hasan (Akber)
Order Date: 18-MAY-26
The reliance on Articles 4, 9, and 25 of the Constitution is also misplaced. No arbitrariness or mala fide has been shown in the decision-making process. The record reflects that the matter was duly placed before the competent forum, considered in accordance with law, and decided within its jurisdiction. It is now well-settled, including by consistent constitutional jurisprudence of the superior courts, including the Honorable Federal Constitutional Court in service and university governance matters, that where a decision is taken by a statutory body of a public university within its lawful domain, the Constitutional Court will exercise restraint unless the decision is shown to be without jurisdiction, malicious, or in violation of an express statutory provision. None of these exceptions is applicable in the present case. 13. In view of the above, we find no illegality, procedural irregularity, or constitutional infirmity in the impugned decision of the Syndicate. The Petitioner, having retired from service, cannot claim promotion/upgradation as a matter of right, particularly when the competent authority has expressly held that such a benefit is not admissible post-retirement under the governing framework. 14. For the foregoing reasons, this petition, being devoid of merit, is hereby dismissed along with pending applications, with no order as to costs.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
