KARACHI: The Sindh High Court(SHC)has restrained the provincial authorities from processing the recruitment in government departments from grade one to 15 across Sindh.

Justice Zafar Ahmad Rajput of Sindh High Court heard the case of providing grade one to 15 government jobs across the province, during which the court gave strong remarks on the way government jobs were given by the previous government.

He remarked that the government was going to give government jobs to the deputy commissioners on open and blank appointment letters.

Justice Zafar Rajput said that the people were told to collect the blank appointment letters from the office of the Deputy Commissioners, while the public prosecutor supported the court’s remarks.

Justice Zafar Rajput said, “We have to ensure merit and transparency in government jobs, earlier there was SRTC, the transport organization, but it was also destroyed”.

The court said, “If the institutions are run under the system, everyone will benefit, if they are run without the system, only those who do government jobs will benefit”.

The court ordered Sindh Institute of Child Health and Dawood University of Engineering & Technology to issue clear advertisements again for contract employees.

The court expressed its displeasure over the giving government jobs in SESSI despite the stay order and asked how to release government jobs when the injunction was issued.

Lawyer MQM Farogh Naseem stated that the Section Officer in the transport department released 40 jobs. He said action should be taken against the Chief Secretary of Sindh and others.
