| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed both Intra Court Appeals filed by Dr. Naeem Akhtar and Dr. Muhammad Akmal Sahu, affirming that their selections as Assistant Professors of Urology were invalid due to their lack of requisite experience. The Court ruled that the experience claimed by Dr. Naeem Akhtar was honorary and did not meet the eligibility criteria set by the Punjab Public Service Commission. Additionally, the Court determined that Dr. Muhammad Akmal Sahu's selection was flawed due to the improper categorization during the selection process. The direction for disciplinary proceedings against the doctors who issued fake certificates was also set aside due to lack of proper trial procedures. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the eligibility for appointment as Assistant Professors in the field of Urology, specifically under the Punjab Civil Servants Act (VIII of 1974). The Lahore High Court's ruling emphasized the importance of valid and credible experience in medical appointments, rejecting claims based on honorary positions and highlighting the procedural flaws in candidate selection. The case showcases the critical nature of adhering to established qualifications and the implications of oversight in the recruitment process. This decision reinforces the standards required for medical practitioners in government positions, ensuring that only qualified candidates are appointed. The ruling also reflects the legal framework governing civil servant appointments in Pakistan, making it a significant case in the realm of administrative law and public service regulations. |
