Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 11-SEP-25
Rule 7-A of the Sindh Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion & Transfer) Rules, 1974, allows for the promotion of civil servants even after they retire, provided the promotion was recommended by a committee while they were still in service. The rule states that a promotion can be approved from the date of the recommendation, and the retired officer does not need to take charge of the new post officially. The petitioners??? case does not fall under this provision because the petitioners were promoted from BPS-07 to BPS-16 on March 29, 2022. However, they had all retired in 2020, before the promotion committee met on January 31, 2022. As a result of their retirement, they were not considered for a further promotion to BPS-17, which 20 years of service as Senior livestock Assistant was/is required for the promotion 8. We, for the aforesaid reasons, dismiss this constitutional petition along with pending application(s). Judge
