Summary:
The petitioner challenged a 2009 decision of the Board of Directors of Sindh Small Industries Corporation (SSIC) regarding seniority and promotion to BS-19 after an unexplained delay of over 16 years. The Court held that the petition was barred by laches, res judicata, estoppel, and allied doctrines, as the petitioner had earlier sought implementation of the same decision through a previous petition disposed of in 2022. Re-agitating the matter with a contradictory stance was impermissible. The petition was found frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process, and was dismissed in limine with costs.
