| Decision |
The Sindh High Court dismissed the constitutional petition filed by the petitioner Ahmed seeking appointment as a primary school teacher. The petitioner approached the court after a considerable lapse of time without providing a valid explanation for the delay. The court noted that the contract period of three years had already lapsed, and the petitioner failed to substantiate his eligibility for the position as required by the relevant policy. The court emphasized the importance of timeliness in filing petitions and upheld previous judgments where similar petitions were dismissed for being time-barred. |
| Summary |
In the case of Ahmed vs. Secretary Education and Literacy Department, the Sindh High Court addressed a constitutional petition concerning the appointment of a primary school teacher. The petitioner claimed that he was issued an appointment order but was not given a posting. However, the court found that the petitioner approached the court after a significant delay, which was not justified. The contract for the position had expired, and the petitioner did not provide evidence of eligibility as per the revised policy. The court referenced prior cases where similar delays led to dismissal of petitions, reinforcing the necessity for timely action in legal matters. The ruling highlights the critical nature of adhering to procedural timelines in the context of contractual appointments and public service positions. |
