Civil servants' posting/transfers: Supreme Court tells provinces, Centre to produce record

The Supreme Court on Thursday sought record from four provinces and federal government pertaining to procedure of provincial and federal civil servants' posting and transfers. A three-member bench of Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan was hearing identical petitions filed by Provincial Civil Servant (PCS) pleading that the appointment of 710 DMG officers in provinces was major hurdle in their promotions.
Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court Abid Hasan Minto represented the PCS officers before the bench and contended that disparity has been witnessed in the rules for DMG officers whose posting and transfers in the provinces was impediment in the way of departmental promotion of the PCS officers. The bench directed provincial and federal government to produce record related to PCS and DMG officers postings and transfers and adjourned the hearing till November 14.
