Judgment text as reported

NAEEM KHAN NIAZI VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN THROUGH SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF INTERIOR, GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN, ISLAMABAD. Vacant posts, non-filling of---Delay in constituting Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) causing delay in promotion---Doctrine of legitimate expectation---Applicability---To describe the delay in promoting the employees as justified would, in effect, permit the administration to take advantage of its own wrong and visit innocent officers with the adverse consequences of disputes in which they had no role. This would be wholly inequitable and inconsistent with the doctrine of legitimate expectation, which entitles civil servants to be considered for promotion as soon as vacancies arise.
