Judgment text as reported

ZARAI TARAQIATI BANK LIMITED VS SARFRAZ KHAN JADOON Out of turn promotions---Illegal promotion orders set aside by the Supreme Court---Prospective effect---Recovery/adjustment of financial benefits paid to such promotees---Held, that in the judgment reported as Akhtar Umar Hayat Lalayka and others v. Mushtaq Ahmed Sukhaira and others (2018 SCMR 1218) the Supreme Court directed that promotions granted to the respondents were "hereby" withdrawn---Word 'hereby' was very significant and it showed that the Supreme Court had withdrawn promotions by the very judgment delivered by it and not prior to it---Had the (Supreme) Court wanted to give effect to its judgment from the date when the promotions were granted, it could have been mentioned in the judgment but it was not done so purposely--- In any case, it was an established legal principle of law that the judgments of the Courts always operated prospectively---High Court had rightly given directions not to recover/adjust the financial benefits granted to the persons promoted illegally---Appeal was dismissed.
