Criminal Petition No. 510-L of 1999 |
| Decision Date |

| Decision |
The Supreme Court found that the civil servant, Mrs. Naseem Chaudhry, had not been promoted by superseding any officer senior to her. She was entitled to be promoted from the date her juniors were promoted, as there was no valid reason to disregard her promotion. The mere existence of pending disciplinary proceedings against her was not sufficient to deny her promotion. However, the promotion would not impede the authorities from continuing with any disciplinary actions against her in a just and lawful manner. The petition was ultimately dismissed with no leave to appeal. |
| Summary |
In the case of Criminal Petition No. 510-L of 1999, heard by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the issue revolved around the promotion rights of Mrs. Naseem Chaudhry, a civil servant. The Court concluded that she was entitled to promotion as Deputy Superintendent of Police, asserting that her promotion should occur from the date her juniors were elevated. The Court emphasized that pending disciplinary proceedings against her were not a valid reason to deny promotion, although such proceedings could continue independently. This case highlights important aspects of civil service law and the rights of public servants, ensuring fairness in promotion processes. This ruling sets a precedent regarding the balance between disciplinary actions and promotion rights, making it a significant decision in administrative law. |
