Selection for section officers

Petitioner was already serving in BS-17, when she applied for the post of section officer but authorities declared her as ineligible for the post

Validity

Public notice got published by Federal Public Service Commission, as well as the Rules for Selection of Section Officers Promotional Examination-2010, revealed that all civil servants who had put in minimum 8 years of service in BS-11 to 16 were eligible for the examination

Civil servant, already serving in BS-17, having minimum eight years of service in BS-11 to 16, was not eligible for the examination

If petitioner was declared eligible for appointment as Section Officer (BS-17), same would amount to depriving civil servants serving in BS-11 to 16 from promotion/appointment as Section Officer BS-17

High Court, in exercise of appellate jurisdiction, declined to interfere in order passed by Federal Public Service Commission

Appeal was dismissed in circumstances.
