Summary: (a) Service Law:
----Out of Turn Promotion—Discrimination—Gallantry Act
Police official granted out-of-turn promotion on account of a gallantry act later reverted along with other officers—Subsequently, some officers were reinstated with restored seniority, while the appellant was ignored—The Court observed that such discriminatory treatment was unwarranted under the law—Sindh Civil Servants Act, 1973, under Section 9-A, allows for out-of-turn promotions based on exceptional service or gallantry—The department failed to provide justification for differential treatment, making the action arbitrary and violative of principles of fairness—Appeal accepted, and orders of reversion set aside.
----Cited Cases:
Moulc Bux v. Government of Sindh (Decided on 04.03.2003)
Chief Secretary, Government of Punjab v. Raja Mumtaz Ahmed (1995-PLC (C.S.)-1140)
(b) Service Law:
----Locus Poenitentiae—Vested Rights—Natural Justice
Withdrawal of out-of-turn promotion after it was implemented—Court held that once promotion was granted and acted upon, it could not be withdrawn under the principle of locus poenitentiae—No opportunity of show cause was provided to the appellant before reversion, violating principles of natural justice—Failure to observe due process rendered the order illegal—Reversion order set aside.
----Cited Cases:
Anwar Muhammad v. General Manager Pakistan Railways, Lahore (1995-PLC (C.S.)-803)
Muhammad Jan Marwat v. Nazir Muhammad & Others (1997-SCMR-287)
(c) Limitation in Service Matters:
----Departmental Appeal—Condonation of Delay—Timeliness of Tribunal Appeal
Departmental appeal was not dismissed on the ground of limitation but on merits—Court held that since the authority entertained and decided the appeal on merits, it effectively condoned any delay—Tribunal appeal filed within 30 days of the decision was thus within time—Office objection regarding limitation overruled.
