(Khurram Faizan v Province of Sindh & others)
Law: Constitution of Pakistan, 1973
Section: 25,38
Summary:
The Sindh High Court order resolves the petition filed by a stenographer from the District and Sessions Court, Karachi West, seeking recognition and benefits tied to his higher legal qualifications (LL.B. and LL.M.). The court addresses multiple issues including the legality of advance increments for LL.B. degrees per a 1999 notification, the denial of LL.M. allowance, and unlawful removal from service.
Core Points:
The petitioner requests affirmation of the validity of the January 22, 1999 notification granting two advance increments to subordinate judiciary employees with an LL.B. degree. This notification was issued by respondent No. 5 (Chief Justice of Sindh High Court).
The petitioner and similarly situated employees claim entitlement to these increments from the dates they passed their LL.B. exams, with immediate payment of arrears.
