| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petitions filed by Amjad Ali and others against the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education regarding their ad hoc appointments and subsequent terminations. The court ruled that the petitioners had no vested right to challenge their terminations, as they were appointed on an ad hoc basis with specific terms that allowed for their services to be terminated without a hearing. The court emphasized that the conditions outlined in their appointment letters were duly accepted by the petitioners, thus rendering their objections invalid. The court also noted that the petitioners' services were terminated in accordance with the applicable service regulations, and therefore, the decision of the Lahore High Court to dismiss their earlier petitions was upheld. Leave to appeal was refused, and the petitioners were advised to pursue fresh appointments through the proper channels. |
| Summary |
In the case of Amjad Ali and others vs. Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the legal ramifications of ad hoc appointments and terminations under the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973. The petitioners, who were initially appointed on an ad hoc basis, challenged their termination without a hearing. The court ruled that since their appointments were not permanent and included terms that permitted termination, they had no grounds to contest the decision. The ruling clarified the rights of ad hoc employees and reinforced the importance of adhering to the terms specified in appointment letters. This case highlights key issues surrounding employment law, administrative justice, and the rights of employees in Pakistan. It serves as a precedent for future cases involving temporary employment contracts and the procedural requirements for termination. Keywords: employment law, constitutional rights, administrative justice, temporary employment, Pakistan. |
