Sindh High Court

Order Date: 14-JAN-25
To elaborate further on the subject point of law, Article 25 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, guarantees equal treatment to all persons similarly placed. In terms of Article 27 of the Constitution, no citizen in the service of Pakistan or other persons shall be discriminated against in any manner. Article 27 of the Constitution does not only safeguard against discrimination at the time of appointment of service but after the appointment as well. The disparity in the pay scale allowances of Stenographers in the District Judiciary is in the clear negation of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in its various pronouncements. 11. In the light of the above facts and circumstances of the case, and in addition to the jurisdiction conferred upon this Court under Article 199 (1)(c) of the Constitution 1973, we deem it appropriate to direct the competent authority of respondents, to take a fresh decision after providing meaningful hearing to the petitioner, within three months, without discrimination.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
