4024/2025 Const. P. Abrar Hussain (Petitioner) V/S SBP Banking Services Corporation & others (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Yousuf Ali Sayeed Order Date: 05-JAN-26
It is well-settled by the Supreme Court of Pakistan that disputes relating to terms and conditions of service, severance benefits, and enforcement of contractual obligations against the State Bank of Pakistan or its subsidiaries do not ordinarily fall within the ambit of constitutional jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution. 7. In the present case, the Petitioner???s grievance relates to the interpretation of service regulations, computation of dues, and alleged denial of contractual benefits. These even otherwise involve disputed questions of fact and contractual rights for which adequate alternate remedies exist before the competent forum. 8. In view of the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in a catena of judgments governing the maintainability of constitutional petitions against the State Bank of Pakistan and its subsidiaries, we are of the considered view that the grievance raised by the petitioner in the present petition is not maintainable under Article 199 of the Constitution. 9. Accordingly, without prejudice to any other remedy available to the Petitioner under the law on the aforesaid analogy, the instant petition is dismissed along with pending applications.
