Hearing Date
Decision The court ruled in favor of the petitioner, ZAKRIYA, who was previously subjected to a reduction in rank due to misconduct. The court noted that the penalty was set aside following the petitioner's representation to the competent authority. It was determined that the petitioner should be allowed to attend the next available training course at the Police Training College, Saeedabad, Karachi, which had commenced previously. The court directed the relevant authorities to ensure the petitioner was nominated for training in the next batch scheduled for the year 2009. The decision emphasized the importance of timely inquiries and the right to training for police personnel.
Summary In the case D-292 of 2009, the Sindh High Court addressed the constitutional petition brought by ZAKRIYA against the Province of Sindh regarding his reduction in rank as a police constable. The petitioner was suspended in 2008 due to allegations of misconduct, specifically the deduction of salaries from his subordinates. Upon appealing the decision, the court recognized that the penalty imposed had not been approved by the relevant authorities. The ruling emphasized the significance of proper procedural conduct in disciplinary actions within police services and the necessity for fair treatment of personnel. The court's decision to allow the petitioner to attend the Intermediate School Course reflects a commitment to upholding the rights of police officers and ensuring they receive necessary training for career advancement. This case highlights the legal framework surrounding police conduct and disciplinary measures in Pakistan, specifically referencing the Removal from Service (Special Powers) Ordinance, 2000 and Article 199 of the Constitution of Pakistan.
