YAR MUHAMMAD BOZDAR VS PROVINCE OF SINDH through Chief Secretary Sindh Secretariat, Karachi Repatriation to parent department---Scope---Petitioner questioned his repatriation from the appointment as Assistant Commissioner (BPS-17) in Ex-PCS Cadre by way of nomination to his parent department through a notification issued by Chief Secretary, which was in pursuance of the directions contained in a judgment passed by Supreme Court---Validity---Appointment of petitioner in Ex-PCS cadre had already been declared as illegal by the Supreme Court---Supreme Court had already held that no mechanism was provided for nomination of the officers; that it was the sole discretion of the Chief Minister to recruit/nominate an employee to the post of Assistant Commissioner in exercise of powers under Rule 5(4)(b) of the West Pakistan Civil Service (Executive Branch) Rules, 1964; that the discretion to exercise the powers was required to be structured by framing policy, which should encourage merit; that the petitioner along with others was found in excess of the quota as per the list provided, therefore, they were not entitled to continue in their offices---Directions of the Supreme Court were still in field and the High Court was bound to follow it under the Constitution---Constitutional petition was dismissed.
