KARACHI: The Supreme Court(SC) rejected the petition related to the regularization of the employees of Jinnah Sindh Medical University (JSMU).
In the Supreme Court Karachi Registry, the Chief Justice of Pakistan heard the case of regularization of 600 contract employees of JSMU, during which the petitioner's lawyer said that the cabinet had approved the regularization of these employees but they were dismissed.
The Chief Justice said that how can the cabinet approve the regularization, “If the law allows regularization, tell me, it is not a matter of policy, it is a matter of violation of the law, what does the law say”.
Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa said that where is it written in the constitution, the cabinet is above the law. The Sindh Assembly should make the law and then regularize it under the law.
The petitioner's lawyer told the court that there is a law for regularization of university employees in the rules of business, on which the chief justice said that do not make the rules of business a law for appointment and regularization, it will not apply here.
Meanwhile, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail said that the conditions of universities in Pakistan are bad and ad-hoc recruitment is being done on contract basis in universities, there should be a ban on ad-hoc recruitment for more than 6 months in all universities.
The Chief Justice said that we will not do the work of the government and parliament.
