Story so far

The Supreme Court of Pakistan overturned a decision by the Punjab Service Tribunal, restoring the promotion of elementary school teacher Muhammad Shafiq to Basic Pay Scale (BS) 16 with all past benefits. The court nullified a May 24, 2023, order that had withdrawn his promotion based on a note in the 2014 service rules. The apex court's ruling established that elementary school teachers are entitled to a 50% promotion quota based on seniority and merit, and that penalising employees for ambiguities in regulations is contrary to good governance.

Latest development

The Supreme Court has released its detailed six-page written judgment, authored by Justice Ayesha Malik, in the teacher's promotion case. The verdict reaffirms that creating ambiguity in employee seniority goes against good governance.
