891/2018 Const. P. Ali Hyder Sultani & Ors (Petitioner) V/S FOP & Ors (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon Order Date: 28-APR-25
The court is of the considered view that "regularization" means immediate, permanent hiring of qualified contract employees as per the law, and without legal provisions, it is not possible. While the Constitution (Articles 4, 3, and 38) guarantees legal protection, equality, fair labor practices, and improved living standards, the petitioners' counsel has not presented any rules allowing the respondent (No. 2) to regularize their services. Although the respondents admit the petitioners work for them, the court is of the view that without a specific law, rule, or policy for regularization, it cannot assist the petitioners at this stage. This court leaves it to the respondent (No. 2) to consider their cases for suitability according to their own rules and regulations. Consequently, the petition is deemed not maintainable under Article 199 of the Constitution and is dismissed along with any pending applications.
