Jun 30, 1987 |
| Decision |
The Service Tribunal dismissed all appeals, ruling that they were not maintainable as the seniority list in question was provisional and not final. The Tribunal emphasized that jurisdiction under the Sind Service Tribunals Act requires a final order from the departmental authority. The Tribunal noted the inefficiencies in handling the seniority lists and expressed hope for improvements in the future. The Tribunal found that the award of selection grades was not solely based on seniority but also considered efficiency and merit. |
| Summary |
In the case of Appeals Nos. 18, 19, 20, and 21 of 1986, the Service Tribunal of Sindh dealt with issues surrounding the maintainability of appeals against provisional seniority lists issued for civil servants. The appellants, who were high school teachers, contested their positions in the seniority list and the subsequent awarding of selection grades to other teachers based on this list. The Tribunal found that the appeals were not maintainable as the seniority list was provisional, and jurisdiction was only warranted if a final order was made by the relevant authority. The decision emphasized the importance of finalizing seniority lists and the need for timely action from administrative bodies. The ruling stressed that awards of selection grades must consider merit and efficiency, rather than solely relying on seniority. The case highlights the complexities of administrative law and the rights of civil servants in Pakistan, particularly in the context of service tribunals and seniority disputes. |
