RASH KHAN Versus AFZAL MEHMOOD CHAIRMAN WAPDA

1. DR. RANA MUHAMMAD SHAMIM, C.J.--- The learned senior counsel for the petitioner contends that an agreement between Government of Pakistan and the local community/affectees of Diamer Basha Dam was executed on 25.02.2010. According to Clause-03 of the said agreement, the local affectees would be preferred for the employments in the projects under Diamer Basha Dam subject to non-availability of the individuals for the posts of special qualifications. He further contends that the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) has ignored the local affectees and appointed officers from BPS-16 to above from down country which is against the agreement and the order dated 23.05.2011 of this apex Court. He further contends that the petitioner is an affectee of the Diamer Basha Dam and his immoveable property has been submerged in the reservoir. The petitioner being a foreign qualified and experienced engineer deserves for the post of General Manager but he has not been considered for the said post while violating the agreement in question and the order of this apex court. He submits that the respondents advertised some posts and invited applications thereto and last date was fixed as 01.11.2015. He prays that the petitioner be accommodated against any one of the posts.
