Judgment text as reported

PRESIDENT, NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN VS WAQAS AHMED KHAN appointment---Son-quota---Concealment of involvement in criminal case---although the respondent was involved in a criminal case of murder of his wife and was acquitted subsequently pursuant to proceedings carried out under section 265-K, Cr.P.C., but it is settled law that even if the allegations levelled in the FIR are admitted to be false, even then without recording of evidence, it cannot be said that there was no probability of conviction of the accused---In order to ascertain the genuineness of the allegations, the Trial Court ought to have allowed the prosecution to lead evidence---Respondent was offered the job of cashier in the Bank but when the Bank came to know that he has a criminal background, the Bank did not allow him to join the duty---Post of cashier is considered to be very important in a Bank, as it is the cashier who collects and disburses cash---While not allowing the respondent to join the duty, the Bank was well within its domain and acted naturally---High Court ought to have taken into consideration the such fact but it failed to do so---appeal was allowed, and the impugned judgment of the High Court directing the Bank to allow the respondent to join his duty in pursuance of his appointment order was set-aside.
