Judgment text as reported

NATIONAL DATABASE AND REGISTRATION AUTHORITY (NADRA) VS JAWAD KHAN appointment---Legitimate expectation, doctrine of---applicability---appointments made to posts other than the ones advertised---applications were invited by National Database and Registration authority (NaDRa) through newspapers for the posts of Customer Service Executive (CSE)---Respondents participated in the recruitment process and qualified the test and interview but they were appointed as Data Entry Operators (DEOs) rather than CSEs which was the originally advertised post---This was a violation of the terms and conditions of the recruitment process formulated for the appointment of CSEs---Respondents took the plea before High Court that they had accepted the said offer on the promise made to them that they would be appointed to the advertised posts on completion of one month on-job training, however despite the successful completion of training and achieving qualifying scores, NaDRa failed to appoint them on the posts applied for and continued to employ them as DEOs---Respondents applied for the posts of CSEs and, after qualifying the prerequisites, they legitimately expected their appointment on the applied posts unless their credentials were rejected, which was not the case in the present case---Neither their applications were rejected after due diligence, nor the recruitment process was scrapped for any reason---High Court rightfully granted relief to redress the grievance of the respondents---Petitions for leave to appeal were dismissed and leave was refused.
