The application was allowed. The Supreme Court ruled that the applicant, Abdul Hameed Soomro, had been mistakenly categorized as a temporary employee due to a typographical error in the judgment dated 22-10-2001. The court recognized that he was a management trainee. Consequently, his appeal was shifted from the heading 'temporary employees' to 'Management Trainees'. This ruling underscores the importance of accurate categorization in legal documents and the court's willingness to rectify such errors. |
