  writ jurisdictionmaintainabilitymaster and servant principleservice matterPESCOstatutory rulescorporate entity
  Summary & questions settled

  The petitioner, a Line Superintendent at Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO), filed a writ petition challenging an order withdrawing his transfer. The core legal question was whether the High Court possesses jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan 1973 to adjudicate service-related grievances of PESCO employees. The Court held that the petition was not maintainable. It reasoned that PESCO, established following the bifurcation of WAPDA, is a corporate entity registered under the Companies Ordinance 1984, and does not possess statutory rules governing the terms and conditions of its employees' service. Consequently, the relationship between the company and its employees is strictly governed by the principle of Master and Servant. The Court affirmed that in the absence of statutory rules, the constitutional jurisdiction of the High Court cannot be invoked for service matters of such corporate employees. The principle laid down is that employees of companies lacking statutory service rules must seek redress for grievances through a competent civil court rather than through a writ petition.

  Questions settled

  • Is a writ petition maintainable against a company that lacks statutory rules governing the terms and conditions of its employees' service?
  • Does the relationship between PESCO and its employees fall under the principle of Master and Servant?
  • Can the High Court exercise jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan 1973 to resolve service disputes of employees of companies registered under the Companies Ordinance 1984?

  service matterupgradationlachesback benefitssuperannuationconstitutional petition
  Summary & questions settled

  The petitioner, a retired employee of Pakistan Railways, filed a constitutional petition seeking a writ to upgrade his post of Stenographer to BS-16 with effect from 23.12.2011, along with subsequent promotion to BS-18 and associated back benefits. The core legal question was whether the petitioner was entitled to a second upgradation to BS-16 despite having already been upgraded to that scale in 2007 and subsequently promoted to BS-17 in 2018. The Peshawar High Court dismissed the petition, holding that the petitioner had already been granted the benefit of upgradation to BS-16 in 2007 and had been receiving pay and allowances accordingly. The Court further noted that the petitioner had retired from service in 2018, and the instant petition, filed in 2021, was barred by the doctrine of laches. The Court established the principle that an employee who has already received the benefit of an upgradation and subsequent promotion is not entitled to claim a second upgradation for the same post, particularly when the claim is stale and hit by laches.

  Questions settled

  • Is an employee entitled to a second upgradation to the same pay scale if they have already received the benefit of that upgradation previously?
  • Does a delay of several years in filing a petition after retirement constitute laches sufficient to dismiss a claim for service benefits?
  • Can a retired government servant claim further promotion and upgradation after reaching the age of superannuation?

  locus poenitentiaeextraordinary leaveservice lawconstitutional petitionvested rightswithdrawal of orderadministrative law
  Summary & questions settled

  This constitutional petition challenged the withdrawal of a sanctioned extraordinary leave order granted to the petitioner, a teacher, for higher studies abroad. The core legal question was whether the respondent authority could rescind a lawful leave order after the petitioner had acted upon it by proceeding abroad. The Court held that the leave order was lawful, not obtained through fraud or misrepresentation, and had been acted upon by the petitioner. Consequently, the principle of locus poenitentiae applied, preventing the authority from unilaterally withdrawing the benefit. The Court established that while an authority generally possesses the power to rescind its orders under Section 21 of the General Clauses Act 1897, this power ceases once a decisive step has been taken and vested rights have been created in favor of an individual, provided the initial order was not illegal or obtained through fraud. Accordingly, the Court declared the impugned withdrawal order illegal, set it aside, and directed the department to grant the petitioner service extension parity with his colleagues.

  Questions settled

  • Can an authority rescind a lawful order after the beneficiary has acted upon it and created vested rights?
  • Does the principle of locus poenitentiae apply to the withdrawal of a sanctioned leave order?
  • Is an order obtained without fraud or misrepresentation by a competent authority subject to unilateral rescission after it has taken legal effect?
