Adjournment Motion

Syed Hassan Murtaza moved an Adjournment Motion that in 2004 and 2007 the vacancies of Inspector Legal/Law Instructor were filled in Punjab Police on merit through Departmental Selection Board instead of Punjab Public Service Commission. In 2018 the Punjab Regularization of Service Act 2018 was passed and due to some ambiguity in the Act, the portion relating to these officials was skipped and they could not be regularized. Now after passage of almost 16 years, these employees were ordered to appear in exams of Punjab Public Service Commission and get its recommendations, otherwise, they would be terminated from service. This order was not only distrust on Departmental Selection Board rather it was violation of fundamental rights enumerated in the Constitution of Pakistan and judgments passed by Supreme Court of Pakistan that employees inducted in service on merit and working consecutively for 10 years should be regularized. The Motion was referred to the Special Committee No.6 on the request of the mover, with the directions to submit its report within two months.
