| Decision |
The petitioners, who had retired from service prior to the date of their petition, sought retrospective promotion. The court ruled that such promotions are not admissible under the law for retired civil servants. The Hon'ble Supreme Court's previous ruling in the case of Muhammad Aslam Sultan v. G.M. Pakistan Railway was referenced, affirming that promotion from a back date is not available to those who have retired. Consequently, the petition was dismissed. |
| Summary |
This case addresses the legal principles surrounding retrospective promotions in civil service under the Constitution of Pakistan (1973). The Lahore High Court examined whether retired civil servants could seek promotions effective from a date prior to their retirement. The court highlighted that the law does not permit such promotions for retired individuals, referencing a significant Supreme Court ruling. This case is crucial for understanding the limitations on civil service promotions and the legal framework governing employment rights in Pakistan. Keywords such as 'civil service promotion', 'retrospective promotion law', and 'constitutional petition' are trending topics in legal discussions, making this case an essential reference for legal practitioners and scholars alike. |
