| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the appeals by Ghulam Nabi and others against the Federal Service Tribunal's judgment, which had upheld the Departmental Authority's decision to grant Selection Grade to their juniors while ignoring the appellants. The court found that the interpretation of the 'joint seniority list' by the appellants was not in accordance with the established rules and that the Selection Grades were granted based on established criteria that were in place since 1996. The court concluded that there was no miscalculation in the number of posts available for the grant of Selection Grade and that the appeals did not raise any question of law of public importance. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the issue of granting Selection Grades to machinists within the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex. The appellants argued that their seniority should be considered on a joint basis across different trades, as per government memos. However, the court upheld the respondent's interpretation that selection was to be trade-wise. The ruling emphasized adherence to established guidelines regarding the criteria for Selection Grades, which had been in place for years. This case highlights the complexities of civil service regulations and the importance of understanding seniority within the context of organizational structures. It serves as a significant reference for future disputes regarding employee promotions and selection criteria in government services. |
