Law: Constitution of Pakistan, 1973
Section: 9-A
Summary of the Case:
This judgment deals with the appointment and promotion criteria for the post of Director General (DG) Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA). The main issues were:
Whether the Impugned Notification (21.7.2025), which allowed DG SEPA to be filled by administrative service officers (PAS/Ex-PCS/PSS/PMS), overrides the Original Rules 2009, which required advanced technical qualifications in Environmental Science/Engineering and experience.
Whether the promotions of Waqar Hussain Phulpoto (Incumbent WHP) and Ashique Ali Langah were consistent with required qualifications and experience.
