Citation Name: 2024 PLC(CS) 1190 QUETTA-HIGH-COURT-BALOCHISTANBookmark this Case Dr. MUSADIQ AZIZ VS GOVERNMENT OF BALOCHISTAN through Secretary Health Department Civil Secretariat, Quetta advertised posts---Eligibility---Pre-requisite educational qualification (degree) not attained / finalized by the aspirants till cutoff date for submissions of applications---Question was, whether or not, a candidate who did not possess the requisite qualification at the relevant time could apply for the post---Petitioners who were awaiting result of their Master's Degree (in Public Health) from Medical University had applied for the said advertised posts despite the fact that result of their 4th (final) Semester had not been announced---Petitioners appeared in the test and according to them they had passed the written test---Balochistan Public Service Commission ('the Commission'), on verification, disqualified the petitioners from appearing in the interview on the sole ground that at the time of submissions of application and cutoff date provided in said regard by the Commission, the petitioners had not passed the exam of their 4th Semester---Petitioners filed constitutional petition contenting that though the result was announced subsequently (after about a month of cut-off date) they had obtained the Degree of Master in Public Health, therefore they were eligible to appear in viva voce---Validity---admittedly, on the last date for submissions of applications provided by the Commission the petitioners had not obtained the relevant degree rather they passed their semester subsequently---Petitioners for all intents and purposes were not qualified to apply for the posts-in-question on or before the cut-off date as they lacked the basic qualifications for the said posts as they obtained their degree subsequently---a candidate, who does not possess the requisite qualification at the relevant time , cannot apply for the post on the basis of practice of issuing "hope certificate" by the relevant university as it is not understandable as how a university, in such a certificate, can make a categorical statement that the aspirant "would pass his final examination"---The very concept of "hope certificate" is beyond comprehension---If for a particular job / position, certain educational qualification are required, these have to be met before the candidate applies for the same---Constitutional petition was dismissed, in circumstances.
