ISLAMABAD:
The apex court has held that the assumption of jurisdiction by high courts in respect of civil service matters was “unconstitutional and impermissible”.
“[High court] should always be mindful of the jurisdictional exclusion contained under Article 212 of the Constitution,” read a five-page judgment authored by Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah in a matter wherein the Lahore High Court had directed the Punjab government to grant proforma promotion” to civil servant Shamim Usman to grade-20.
