| Decision |
The petitioners have challenged the order of respondent No. 16, dated 28-4-1987 through this Constitutional petition. The relevant facts are that the petitioners, who are 24 in number as well as respondents Nos. 4 to 14 were all serving in the Railway as Guards. The grievance of the petitioners is that their colleagues respondents Nos. 4 to 14 were illegally appointed, therefore, they could not compete with the petitioners in the matters of seniority etc. The petitioners have neither placed on record grievance notice which they purportedly served on such colleagues nor the document which was basis of their claim. The conduct of the petitioners was held to be of very serious nature and they could not be allowed any relief with such misconduct. The petition is dismissed. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a dispute regarding seniority among railway guards in Pakistan. The petitioners claimed that their colleagues were illegally appointed and thus should not compete with them for seniority. The Lahore High Court, presided over by Justice Ihsan-ul-Haq Chaudhry, found that the petitioners failed to provide necessary evidence to support their claims, including the grievance notice they allegedly served. The court concluded that the misconduct displayed by the petitioners in withholding documents was serious and warranted dismissal of their petition. The decision underscores the importance of procedural compliance and the consequences of failing to substantiate claims in legal proceedings. |
