| Decision |
The court dismissed the petition filed by Raja NAVEED against the stoppage of his salary, ruling that the petitioner, a police constable, could not prove the validity of his appointment. The court found that the petitioner was required to provide various documents to substantiate his claim of legitimate employment, but failed to do so adequately. The court also noted that the inquiry conducted into the matter revealed that the petitioner's appointment was fake, leading to the conclusion that the Sindh Services Tribunal had jurisdiction over such employment-related issues, making the petition under Article 199 of the Constitution not maintainable. |
| Summary |
In the case of Raja NAVEED vs. PROVINCE OF SINDH, the Sindh High Court was presented with a petition concerning the stoppage of salary for a police constable. The petitioner claimed to have been appointed legitimately in 2011 but faced salary stoppage since September 2018 due to alleged fake appointments within the police department. The court required the petitioner to provide substantial proof regarding his employment legitimacy, including official documentation, which he could not satisfactorily produce. The court emphasized that the issues surrounding salary and employment conditions fall under the jurisdiction of the Sindh Services Tribunal, thus rendering the constitutional petition not maintainable. The decision referenced previous case law and highlighted the importance of due process in employment matters within civil service, ultimately dismissing the petition. This case underscores the challenges faced by employees in proving the legitimacy of their appointments and the legal avenues available for addressing employment disputes. |
