Judgment text as reported

SHAHNAWAZ VS PROVINCE OF SINDH through Chief Secretary Contractual employees---Regularization of services---Scope---Petitioners sought regularization of their contractual service---Validity--Petitioners had cleared the written examination, which was a pre-condition before they could be appointed to the posts applied for but the written test could not gauge the personality of the candidate or his communication skills, or his leadership or decision-making abilities which were left to be examined at the time of the interview---Interview was a subjective test and a Court of law could not substitute its own opinion for that of the interviewing board---Summary was sent to the Competent Authority with the proposal that the services of the petitioners be retained in the public interest for successful implementation of computerization of land records in the province---However, Competent Authority had proposed that the services of petitioners be regularized through a competitive process through public notice afresh---Constitutional petitions were allowed while holding that the appointments of petitioners in the department were based on the process that was substantially and tangibly fair and within the parameters of its applicable rules and regulations through the competitive process on merits.
