Judgment text as reported

TAJ MUHAMMAD, CHIEF INTERNAL AUDITOR OGDCL VS OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED art.199---Constitutional petition---Employer and employee---Eligibility for promotion---Scope---Every functional organization has a human resource policy pursuant to which promotion decisions for employees are made---One component of such promotion is the subjective evaluation of the competence of an employee---Such evaluation can only be undertaken in view of all attendant facts and circumstances by the primary decisionmaker---High Court while exercising its judicial review powers cannot indulge in such exercise and doing so could require the court to engage with a factual dispute involving the conflict of opinion regarding potential and competence of the employee as determined by the Human Resources department of an organization and the employee's self-assessment of his own potential and competence---Such would drag the Court into the domain of policy as the question of how best to manage the Human Resource department of an organization, how to motivate employees, which employees are to be placed on the fast track of career progression, how to train and prepare them for leadership, and how best to incentivize them, etc., are quintessential policy matters.
