Summary:
Petitioners, former Assistant Executive Engineers of Karachi Development Authority (KDA), sought proforma promotion to BPS-18, alleging denial of promotion despite seniority and vacancies due to non-convening of the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC). The Court noted Supreme Court precedents disallowing post-retirement promotions without legal basis and highlighted qualification-based promotion rules as settled in Maula Bux Shaikh (2018 SCMR 2098). Given the pending Ghulam Abbas Soomro case before the Supreme Court, the petition was disposed of conditionally, subject to its outcome.
