| Decision |
The Lahore High Court granted the intra-court appeal of MST. SANOBER BIBI, directing the authorities to reconsider her merit after awarding her 2 additional marks for being computer literate. The court found that the authorities had unlawfully deprived her of these marks, which she had previously been awarded during her selection for a different post. The court emphasized the importance of merit and transparency in recruitment processes, highlighting that the appellant had a legitimate expectation to receive the same consideration for the Senior School Educator position as she had for the Elementary School Educator role. |
| Summary |
In the case of MST. SANOBER BIBI vs. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, D.G. KHAN, the Lahore High Court addressed a significant issue regarding the recruitment policy for educators in government schools. The appellant challenged the decision that denied her 2 additional marks for being computer literate, which she had previously received in a different selection process. The court found that this denial was not justified, as the recruitment policy mandated the awarding of such marks. The ruling underscored the principles of merit and transparency in public sector recruitment, reinforcing the idea that candidates should be assessed fairly based on their qualifications. This case serves as a critical reference for similar disputes in educational recruitment, emphasizing the need for adherence to established policies and fair treatment of candidates. The court's decision to allow the appeal not only reinstated the appellant's rights but also set a precedent for future cases involving recruitment policies in educational institutions. |
