4252/2023 Const. P. Aftab Ali (Petitioner) V/S Province of Sindh & Others (Respondent)
Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author)
Order Date: 18-SEP-25
Given these circumstances, this court is not inclined to allow the petition on the analogy that the department's decision to withdraw the requisition was/is a lawful exercise of its administrative and policy-making authority. The petitioner, having only submitted an application, does not acquire a vested right to the post. The department's reasons for withdrawal (low enrollment) prima facie are valid and not demonstrably discriminatory. This court also noted that while the petitioner's frustration is understandable, it cannot compel a government department to create or fill a position that it has determined is no longer needed. This court's role is not to manage administrative affairs but to ensure that they are conducted in accordance with the law. In this case, the department's actions, though delayed, appear to be legally justifiable. Consequently, this petitions fails and is dismissed accordingly.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
