ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed the federal government to promote bureaucrats from BPS-20 to BPS-21 within three days whose promotion had been stopped.
The bureaucrats, who were recommended by the Central Selection Board (CSB) for promotion in a petition maintained that the federal government ordered to review their promotion cases.
The Chief Justice IHC Justice Muhammad Anwar Khan Kasi had earlier declared the order to the CSB to review the promotion cases of as many as 27 senior bureaucrats null and void and directed that bureaucrats should be promoted according to the recommendations of CSB.
During the course of proceeding, the CJ directed the federation to implement the court order in which it ordered that bureaucrats should be promoted according to the recommendations of CSB, within three days and sought report from the federation on the matter till Monday.
Asma Jahangir counsel for the petitioner apprised the court that CSB in February 2014, recommended a large number of officers from six different service groups for promotion from BPS-20 to BPS-21.
She contended that the federation has not promoted the said officers despite the court order.
She added that the government has filed an appeal in the apex court against the court order which was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
The CSB had recommended promotion of 44 DMG, 11 police and 21 foreign service officials in February 2014; however, the PM Nawaz Sharif had ordered to review promotion cases of 18 officials of Administrative Services, 5 Police Service and 4 Foreign Service, she added.
Later, the court adjourned proceeding till January 19.
