Judgment text as reported

FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, THROUGH CHAIRMAN, ISLAMABAD VS DR. SHUMAILA NAEEM. Establishment Division Office Manual, 1971, O. M. No. 1/14/71-TRV dated 20-09-1971---Domicile---Female civil servant---Principle---Exception to general principle under O. M. 1971, whereby domicile of a civil servant stands frozen upon entering civil service, has been carved out in the case of female officers who marry during service---Recognizing constitutional values of equality, dignity and realities of social mobility that accompany marital life, a limited concession is provided whereby a woman officer may, only once, adopt domicile of her husband if she seeks appointment to a post through direct recruitment---Such exception acknowledges that marriage often entails a change in residence and social identity and aims to accommodate such transitions without violating broader principle of domicile integrity---Such option is strictly a one-time concession in the entire service tenure of female officer---Once exercised, the new domicile (based on husband's domicile) stands frozen and remains immutable regardless of whether the officer is subsequently divorced, widowed, or remarries a person from another province---Such safeguard ensures that the exception does not evolve into an instrument of circumvention or manipulation and preserves the constitutional scheme of fair and equitable representation across the Federation.
