PHC orders induction of grade-IV employees
Peshawar High Court’s (PHC) Abbottabad bench has issued a favourable decision for 102 grade IV employees who were waiting for an appointment in the Department of Education of primary, middle, and high schools.
Following the completion of the hearing, the bench directed the Department of Education to proceed with appointments for 102 positions.
Despite the completion of the appointment process before the conclusion of the provincial assembly, the ECP imposed a ban, leading to a delay in appointment orders.
The DEO legalised the ban based on a justification provided by the ECP. In February, three affected candidates filed a petition against the decision in the PHC Abbottabad bench. After a comprehensive hearing considering all three petitions, the Abbottabad bench issued a verdict instructing the department to proceed with the appointment.
