| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the Intra-Court Appeal filed by the appellants challenging the earlier decision of a Single Judge which had dismissed their Writ Petition regarding the recruitment criteria for Patwaris in Faisalabad. The Court found no merit in the appellants' claims that the recruitment process was altered to their disadvantage and emphasized that the competent authority had the right to specify qualifications for posts, with the later notification regarding the recruitment policy holding persuasive effect. The appeal was dismissed in limine, affirming that the appellants had no standing to challenge the recruitment process as they had not participated in it. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Lahore High Court addressed the Intra-Court Appeal regarding the recruitment process for Patwaris in Faisalabad. The appellants contested the dismissal of their Writ Petition, arguing that changes to the recruitment criteria were made to disadvantage them. The Court ruled that previous orders could not be used as grounds for discrimination claims and upheld the authority's right to modify recruitment policies. The decision underlines principles of equality, administrative discretion, and the importance of transparent recruitment processes in public service. This case is significant for those interested in administrative law, public service recruitment, and the interpretation of constitutional rights, particularly in the context of Pakistan's legal framework. |
