| Decision |
The appeal of Abdul Jabbar was accepted as the order of the Superintendent of Police, Sargodha, removing his name from List B-1 was found to be ultra vires of the Police Rules. The court determined that the standing order issued by the D.I.G. did not limit the number of entrants on List B-1 and that the S.P. should have allowed the list to remain as it was. The eligibility for the training school was to be assessed based on the age limit prescribed in the rules, and the S.P. was tasked with verifying whether the appellant had a chance to attend the training school before reaching the age limit. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the removal of Abdul Jabbar's name from List B-1 under the Police Rules of 1934. The key issue was whether the Superintendent of Police had the authority to remove names arbitrarily without following the prescribed procedures. The decision emphasized the importance of adhering to established rules and regulations within the police force. The ruling clarified that the D.I.G.'s standing order did not impose a limit on the number of constables in List B-1, and that any removal must comply with the specific provisions of the rules. This case highlights the need for procedural fairness and adherence to legal standards in administrative decisions, ensuring that individuals' rights are protected under the law. |
