Decision The court ruled that the notification transferring Respondent No. 4 to the Board as Assistant Controller was illegal and issued without lawful authority. The petitioners, being employees of the Board, were deemed aggrieved persons under Article 199 of the Constitution. The court emphasized that the proper procedures outlined in the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Ordinance, 1977 were not followed in the appointment process. The Board was found to have no delegated authority to approve the deputation of Respondent No. 4, thus rendering the notification void.
Summary This case revolves around the legality of a notification that transferred a government employee to a position within the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (B.I.S.E.) in Quetta. The petitioners, who were employees of the Board, contested the appointment of Respondent No. 4, claiming it violated the relevant laws and regulations governing the Board's operations.
