Judgment text as reported

FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN through Secretary, Ministry of National Health Services VS JAHANZEB F.R. 17---Proforma promotion---Scope---If a person is not considered due to any administrative slip-up, error or delay when the right to be considered for promotion is matured and without such consideration, he reaches to the age of superannuation before the promotion, then obviously the avenue or pathway of proforma promotion comes into field for his rescue---If he lost his promotion on account of any administrative oversight or delay in the meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) or Selection Board despite having fitness, eligibility and seniority, then in all fairness, he has a legitimate expectation for proforma promotion with consequential benefits---Unjustified delay in proforma promotion cases triggers severe hardship and difficulty for the civil servants and also creates multiplicity of litigation---Competent authority should fix a timeline with strict observance for the designated committees of proforma promotions in order to ensure rational decisions on the matters expeditiously with its swift implementation, rather than dragging or procrastinating all such issues inordinately or without any rhyme or reasons which ultimately compels the retired employees to knock the doors of Courts of law for their withheld legitimate rights which could otherwise be granted to them in terms of applicable rules of service without protracted litigation or Court's intervention.
