| Decision |
The Lahore High Court accepted the constitutional petition filed by Rao Abdul Hannan Khan, declaring the appointment of Arslan Mansoor as Naib Qasid illegal and unlawful. The court found that Arslan Mansoor was in jail during the interview process and thus could not be appointed. Furthermore, he failed to join the post within the prescribed period after being given another chance. The court directed the authorities to issue an appointment letter in favor of the petitioner for the Naib Qasid position, emphasizing the importance of proper procedure and merit in civil service appointments. |
