Judgment text as reported

GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB through Secretary Health VS MUHAMMAD KAMRAN BASHIR Recruitment/hiring process---Interview---Vested right, creation of---Scope---Department impugned order of High Court whereby Constitutional petition of respondent was allowed and he was held entitled for appointment to post, on ground that after appearing for an interview, a vested right accrued in favour of respondent, which could not be taken away by notification whereby recruitment process was changed and started afresh---Validity---Interview did not create any vested right in favour of a candidate as it was never the finale of the recruitment process and candidates may be required to fulfill additional requirement(s) before an appointment were notified---Respondent, therefore, could not claim any vested right for appointment and personal interest of respondent must give way to public interest in scrapping previous recruitment process for a new one, which was in accordance with Government's policy to promote justice and fair play---Discretion of Appointing Authority, therefore, could not be interfered with and respondent had no enforceable right for which writ of mandamus could be sought---Impugned order was set aside and intra-court appeal was allowed, accordingly.
