Judgment text as reported

Mst. RUKHSANA KOUSAR VS GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN through Chairman Upgradation Committee arts. 4, 24 & 199---Civil service---Upgradation of posts for civil servants---Equality with comparators asserted by civil servant (petitioner)---Equal protection---Scope---Record showed that the petitioner had already benefited from a time-scale upgradation policy, which was designed to address the precise concern of stagnation---Granting the petitioner further individualized relief would amount to an enrichment beyond the policy's intent, creating preferential treatment rather than correcting an inequality---Thus, Petitioner's reliance on alleged comparators did not suffice----Constitutional equal protection was implicated only where similarly situated individuals are treated differently without any rational basis---In the present case, the determination of Committee on Upgradation that the petitioner' post had already been benefited and was thus ineligible for further upgradation, constituted a rational and policy-based justification for the decision----Thus, the Petitioner had not demonstrated any vested right to further upgradation---Constitutional petition was dismissed.
