| Decision |
The Sindh High Court dismissed the revision application filed by Sheikh Ghulam Hussain against the Pakistan Television Corporation Ltd. The court upheld the decision of the Vth Additional District Judge, Karachi, which had set aside the earlier decree in favor of the applicant. The court found that the termination of services was valid as the applicant was still within the probation period, and even if he were confirmed, the terms of employment allowed for termination with notice. The court also ruled that the applicant did not qualify for constitutional protection as he was not classified as a government servant under the law, and thus, the specific relief sought was not applicable. |
