The intra-court appeal was dismissed as the petitioner, Zohaib Hassan, failed to prove his case regarding the appointment as Assistant Superintendent Jail. The court found that he had concealed facts regarding his height measurement, which was a requirement for the position. Despite the issuance of an appointment letter, the refusal of the department to take his joining was upheld due to the lack of fulfillment of the necessary criteria. The court emphasized that no illegality was found in the decision made by the Single Judge of the High Court. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appointment of Zohaib Hassan as Assistant Superintendent Jail, where issues regarding height measurement and concealment of facts were pivotal.

The judgment emphasized the significance of transparency and honesty in the application process for civil service positions. The refusal to take the petitioner's joining was deemed valid, given the circumstances surrounding the height measurement discrepancies. The case illustrates the importance of adhering to criteria set forth for civil service appointments, reinforcing the principle that individuals must meet all qualifications to secure a position. |
