Civil Appeal No.50 of 1996 |
| Decision Date |
Jan 07, 1997 |
| Hearing Date |
Nov 19, 1996 |
| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed with costs as the appellant was not academically qualified for the appointment as Deputy Director Dawat-o-Irshad. The qualifications held by the appellant were recognized only for teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies and not for employment in other fields. The court found no merit in the arguments presented by the appellant's counsel regarding additional marks awarded to the respondent, as the appellant's lack of qualifications rendered this point moot. |
| Summary |
The Supreme Court of AJ&K presided over a civil appeal regarding the appointment of a Deputy Director in the Directorate of Amer-Bil-Maroof Wa Nahee-Aanil-Munker. The case arose from a writ petition filed by the appellant, challenging the Public Service Commission's recommendation in favor of the third respondent. The court ruled that the appellant's qualifications, specifically the 'Sanad' he possessed, were only recognized for teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies, and therefore, he was not qualified for the Deputy Director position, which was not a teaching role. The decision emphasized the importance of adhering to academic qualifications stipulated by the University Grants Commission. The appeal was dismissed, reiterating the lack of merit in the appellant's claims and the necessity for proper academic credentials for public service appointments. |
