ANJUM PERVAIZ versus GENERAL MANAGER (OPERATIONS), PAKISTAN RAILWAYS, LAHORE
Article 4 Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Article 199 Qui Warrento, writ of inspector railway, vacancy of appointment of traffic railway officer in such post, such post-civil engineering nature duties, and full railway history. It appears that such a post as a civil engineer being an officer of the traffic railway by the respondent, was alien to the duties of civil engineer. Non-engineer could not hold the post of engineer in the presence of permanent practice and among civil engineers Establishment of appointment of Railway Inspector Such a post would lead to injustice and defeat the legitimate expectations of other civil engineers and it would hurt the department if the appointment of a right person on the right job would result in the deployment of non-engineers to the Pakistan Railways. Was not prohibited under section 4 of the Act, 1890. For a long time, the High Court had made such appointment, declaring unknown appointments illegal. In view of such prolonged practice, I directed the department to consider such a vacancy and The filling should be arranged with the approval of the competent authority within a fixed period of time among the civil engineers.
