The Honorable Supreme Court has recently decided a service matter which was pending for disposal before the Sindh High Court Judicial Service Tribunal for almost 19 years. In the meantime, some of the respondents had either died or retired from service and it had become difficult to decide the seniority issue.
The Supreme Court held that service related issues are very serious issues, especially that of seniority. If a judicial officer’s seniority is withheld or it is not decided within reasonable time, this must add to his/her agony and frustration. The officer would not be able to work with peaceful and free mind. He/she will get frustrated and this would affect his/her progress and capacity, something which is not good for progress of the judicial institution.
The Court thus remanded the matter to the Tribunal and directed to fix a time period for disposal of such service matters.
