ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday sought replies from the Establishment Division and the Estate Office on a petition seeking implementation of five percent minority quota in the newly announced jobs.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah directed the respondents to submit parawise comments on the petition filed by a minority community member Faisal Masih.
The petitioner, in his plea, stated that the Estate Office had advertised jobs against various posts on March 8, 2019, without mentioning 5pc minority quota.
The petitioner prayed the court to stay the process of recruitment on the posts announced by the Estate Office.
He also prayed for declaring the job advertisement illegal in light of Article 36 (Protection of Minorities) and Establishment Division notification dated May 26, 2009 over ignoring and not reserving 5% job quota for minorities.
