Summary and Core Points
Petitioner’s Claim:
The petitioner applied for the post of Medical Officer (BPS-17) through Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC), cleared the written test with 52.5 marks, and appeared in the interview. Despite competent performance, his name was omitted from the final list, while candidates with lower written test scores were selected. The petitioner alleged discrimination, nepotism, and political favoritism violating Articles 18 and 27 of the Constitution.
Respondents’ Position:
The petitioner failed the interview; selection and evaluation in interviews are subjective and fall within the exclusive domain of the appointing authority or selection committee. No concrete evidence of mala fide or arbitrariness was presented.
