| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the constitutional petition filed by the petitioner, Syed Amjad Ali Shah, who sought a direction to restrain the respondents from disturbing his seniority by promoting other respondents. The court found that the petition was based on apprehension rather than concrete evidence, stating that there was no seniority list in place at that time. The court emphasized that the grievance was premature and suggested that the petitioner could seek appropriate remedies if his seniority was adversely affected in the future. The court upheld that the respondents were bound to implement the decisions of the Supreme Court and the Islamabad High Court regarding the promotions. |
| Summary |
In the case of Writ Petition No. 22836 of 2013, the Lahore High Court addressed a constitutional petition concerning the apprehension of disturbance of seniority filed by Syed Amjad Ali Shah against the Managing Director of PTV Corporation and 40 others. The petitioner contended that the promotion of other respondents would adversely affect his seniority. The court, presided by Justice Ayesha A. Malik, highlighted that the petition was based on speculation rather than a substantive claim, as no seniority list had been established. The court reiterated that the grievances raised were premature, advising the petitioner to seek remedies if his seniority was impacted in the future. Ultimately, the court dismissed the petition, reinforcing the obligation of the respondents to adhere to prior judgments of the Supreme Court and Islamabad High Court. This ruling emphasizes the importance of established protocols regarding promotions and seniority in employment, particularly within state corporations, and serves as a precedent for similar cases. |
