5102/2021 Const. P. Manzoor Ali (Petitioner) V/S Fed. of Pakistan and Others (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon Order Date: 27-MAY-25
Given the petitioner's retirement in 2021, this court find it unnecessary to refer the case back to the Selection Board (SB) in 2025. Besides the current legal framework does not recognize pro forma promotion for retired public servants. Without a legal basis, this court cannot compel the CAA to take an action impermissible by law. Guidance on this matter can be found in the judgments of the Supreme Court in the cases of Secretary Ministry of Finance, Finance Division, Government of Pakistan Versus Muhammad Anwer (2025 SCMR 153), National Bank of Pakistan through its President Versus Sajjad Ali Khaskhelli and another (2024 PLC (CS) 276), and Inspector General of Police Punjab versus Waris Ali (2024 SCMR 1109). 10. Based on the aforementioned discussion and keeping in view the legal position of the case, we find no merit in this petition that justifies intervention by this Court. Consequently, the Constitution Petition and any pending applications are dismissed.
