Judgment text as reported

NATIONAL DATABASE AND REGISTRATION AUTHORITY (NADRA) VS JAWAD KHAN art. 199---Contractual employees of National Database and Registration authority (NaDRa)---appointments made to posts other than the ones advertised---Constitutional petition filed before the High Court---Maintainability---In the present case the respondents had applied for the position of Customer Service Executive (CSE) and qualified the test and interview but they were offered the post of Data Entry Operators (DEOs) without any rhyme or reason, which is a violation of the terms and conditions of the recruitment process formulated for the appointment of CSEs---Neither the respondents were terminated employees, nor did they challenge any dismissal or termination order from service, nor did they seek any relief from the High Court for regularization of their contractual services into permanency, rather they only invoked the writ jurisdiction (of the High Court) for their appointment as CSEs for which they applied and fulfilled the criteria and not as DEOs---High Court was not only justified in entertaining the petition, but also rightfully granted relief to redress the grievance of the respondents---Petitions for leave to appeal were dismissed and leave was refused.
