Appeal No. 105 of 1993 |
| Decision Date |
Apr 05, 1994 |
| Hearing Date |
Apr 05, 1994 |
| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the appellant, Shamim Fatima Zaidi, challenged the seniority list of Mistresses (BPS-8) issued on 28th April, 1993. The Tribunal found that her appointment in BPS-8 was provisional and dependent on the availability of funds, therefore her seniority could not be claimed from the date of that appointment. The Tribunal upheld the seniority of other respondents based on their earlier regular appointments, stating that the seniority was to be determined by the date of regular appointment, as per the Sindh Civil Servants Rules. The appeal was determined to be within the time limit as the cause of action arose with the issuance of the impugned list in 1993. |
| Summary |
In the case of Shamim Fatima Zaidi vs. Director of Technical Education, the Service Tribunal of Sindh addressed the issue of seniority among civil servants as per the Sindh Civil Servants (Probation, Confirmation and Seniority) Rules, 1975. The appellant, Shamim Fatima Zaidi, contested her placement at the bottom of the seniority list for Mistresses (BPS-8) published on 28th April, 1993, arguing that her previous appointments warranted a higher rank. The Tribunal concluded that the seniority must be determined by the date of regular appointment, which for Zaidi was noted as 1-7-1992, while the other respondents had earlier regular appointments. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the importance of adhering to the established rules for civil service seniority. This case emphasizes the significance of understanding the rules governing civil service appointments and the necessity of timely appeals in administrative matters. |
