Interpretation of Article 199 Writs: Mandamus vs. Certiorari in service matters

Hi colleagues, I am preparing a writ petition under Article 199 of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973, challenging a departmental promotion committee decision. Should I frame the prayer primarily in the nature of Mandamus or Certiorari? The department has failed to follow its own service rules. Any recent Supreme Court citations on this would be highly appreciated.
