Judgment text as reported

Mst. RUKHSANA KOUSAR VS GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN through Chairman Upgradation Committee art.199----Civil service----Upgradation of posts for civil servants, matter of----Exercise of Constitutional jurisdiction by the High Court----Principles----The question of upgradation of posts for civil servants is one that can be examined by the High Court in the exercise of its constitutional jurisdiction, however, while exercising such jurisdiction, certain principles of law must necessarily be kept in view:-(i.) The foremost consideration is whether upgradation constitutes a vested right of a civil servant, enforceable through judicial intervention, or whether it remains a concession extended by the Government depending upon exigencies of service and availability of resources; (ii.) The second question is whether upgradation can be granted in favor of an individual on a person-specific basis, or whether the policy of upgradation must apply uniformly to a class or cadre of employees to avoid arbitrariness and favoritism ; (iii.) The third aspect relates to the domain of policymaking itself.
