| Decision |
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal regarding the appointment of Commander (Retd.) Saeed Ahmed Memon as Secretary of the Printing Corporation of Pakistan, which had been declared illegal by the Lahore High Court. The Court addressed several important questions, including the validity of the Printing Corporation of Pakistan Employees Service Rules and whether the grounds for disqualification still existed. The Court's decision emphasized the necessity of examining the implications of amendments in the Service Tribunals Act and the constitutional jurisdiction of the High Court in matters related to service conditions. Ultimately, the Court recognized the public importance of the issues raised and allowed the appeal to proceed for further consideration. |
| Summary |
In the case of Commander (Retd.) Saeed Ahmed Memon v. Abdul Shakoor, the Supreme Court of Pakistan deliberated on the legality of Memon's appointment as Secretary of the Printing Corporation of Pakistan. The Lahore High Court had previously ruled that Memon was ineligible for the position, leading to significant legal questions regarding the applicability of the Printing Corporation of Pakistan Employees Service Rules, the Pakistan Essential Services (Maintenance) Act, and the Service Tribunals Act. The Supreme Court's decision to grant leave to appeal underscored the case's public significance, as it examined the intersections of employment law and constitutional jurisdiction. This case highlights critical issues in civil service appointments and the legal framework that governs them, making it relevant to ongoing discussions about public service regulations and judicial oversight. |
