| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the constitutional petition, asserting that the petitioners, who were appointed on a contract basis, could not claim regularization or extension of service beyond the completion of their project. The court emphasized that the case for regularization was not presented to the cabinet sub-committee, nor was there any approval for it, making their claims of discrimination unfounded. The court ruled that while petitioners are entitled to receive salaries and benefits for the duration of their service, their requests for changes to the terms and conditions of their employment were beyond the jurisdiction of the court. |
| Summary |
In the case of W.P. Nos. 18389 of 2016, the Lahore High Court addressed the issue of contract employment within the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The petitioners, who sought regularization of their services after being appointed for various projects, were denied relief due to the nature of their contracts. The court ruled that since the petitioners were employed specifically for the completion of a project, they could not claim employment beyond its conclusion. The court also noted that their cases had not been reviewed by the necessary governmental bodies for regularization, leading to the dismissal of the petitions. The judgment reinforces the principle that project-based employees have limited rights regarding regularization and highlights the importance of adhering to established legal frameworks and regulations in employment matters. |
