| Decision |
The Service Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by the appellants against the promotion of the respondents to the post of Inspector based on seniority and confirmation as Sub-Inspectors. The Tribunal found that the appellants had accepted the confirmation dates of the respondents by the passage of time and had lost their right to challenge the promotion. The Tribunal highlighted that the relevant technical training was not a condition for confirmation or promotion as per the governing rules. The decision emphasized the importance of maintaining seniority and confirmed that the respondents were rightly promoted. The appeals were deemed devoid of merit, leading to their dismissal without any order as to costs. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeals filed by Khan Muhammad and others against the promotion of certain respondents to the post of Inspector in the Sindh Police based on their seniority and confirmation as Sub-Inspectors. The crux of the dispute lies in the interpretation of the Police Rules, 1934, particularly R.13.18, and the Sindh Service Tribunals Act (XV of 1973), S.4. The appellants argued that the respondents did not complete required technical courses, which they claimed was a prerequisite for confirmation and promotion. However, the Service Tribunal found that the appellants had accepted the confirmation of the respondents over time and did not challenge the promotion in a timely manner. The Tribunal underscored that the promotions were lawful, given that the respondents maintained seniority and fulfilled all necessary conditions for their respective positions. The judgment reinforces the significance of adherence to established protocols in police service promotions, ensuring that seniority is respected. Overall, the decision reaffirms the importance of timely appeals and the necessity for clarity in the prerequisites for police promotions. |
