| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by Muhammad Jalil Siddiqui challenging the decision of the Punjab Service Tribunal regarding his seniority after transferring to the Rawalpindi Region. The Court held that the transfer was at the petitioner's request and thus the conditions imposed regarding seniority were valid. The Court clarified that the circular letter concerning the dissolution of One Unit did not apply to the petitioner's case, as his transfer was not executed under the policy related to the dissolution. The final decision reaffirmed that the petitioner was treated as a fresh recruit for seniority purposes, and the appeal was rejected. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around Muhammad Jalil Siddiqui's petition regarding the fixation of his seniority after his transfer from Quetta Region to Rawalpindi Region following the dissolution of the Province of West Pakistan. The Supreme Court of Pakistan examined the validity of the conditions imposed on his transfer, particularly concerning his seniority. The Court highlighted the importance of the condition that he would lose his seniority upon transfer, as it was a request-based transfer. The decision also emphasized that the instructions applicable to the dissolution of One Unit were not relevant to his situation, as the transfer was made under a different context. The case underscores issues related to civil service transfers, seniority rights, and the interpretation of governmental circulars pertaining to personnel allocation. Keywords such as 'seniority fixation', 'civil service transfer', 'Supreme Court of Pakistan', and 'government employment law' are essential in understanding the implications of this ruling. |
