Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD MUAZAM VS GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB through Inspector General of Police, Punjab Contractual appointment---Non-extension of contracts, challenged---Scope---Appellants assailed non-extension of their contractual appointments through constitutional petition, which was dismissed---Validity---Extension of contracts could not be granted to the appellants as of law as well as of right, firstly, for the reasons that on the day when the appellants had invoked the constitutional jurisdiction their status was of employees whose contracts had expired and High Court under its constitutional jurisdiction through a mandatory injunction could not force an unwilling employer to extend the contract of service which had already expired; secondly, for granting a relief canvassed by the appellants in the writ petition and in the Intra Court Appeal High Court could not undertake a factual inquiry i.e. whether the performance of appellant was satisfactory or not; thirdly, it was not the case of appellants that non-extension of their contracts suffered from mala fide in law as neither the Contract Policy, 2004, was challenged nor any statutory instrument or order was assailed---Intra Court Appeal was dismissed.
