ISLAMABAD — The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ruled that the seniority of contractual employees, regularized under the Sindh Regularisation Act, 2013, is effective from March 25, 2013. This date aligns with the enactment of the legislation.
Supreme Court Decision
A two-member bench of the Supreme Court, with Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Musarrat, delivered this significant judgment. The ruling clearly defines the commencement point for calculating the employment seniority of these regularized employees.
Impact on Sindh Employees
The decision provides clarity and resolves ambiguity regarding the seniority ranking of employees transitioning from contractual to permanent positions under the Sindh Regularisation Act. This ensures their previously acquired experience is acknowledged from the specified date.
