QUETTA: The Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Thursday restrained the Secretary of Agriculture Department from the recruitment process. The department had given an advertisement in local newspapers for the recruitment of 1180 vacancies in various cadres the other day.
A division bench of the BHC comprising Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan and Rozi Khan Bareech passed this order on a constitutional petition i.e. Bayazeed Khan versus the Government of Balochistan. The petitioner had challenged the process of recruitment and termed it in violation of merit. The learned counsel for the petitioner had complained that the department had failed to include two newly established divisions quota and disabled’s quota in the advertisement.
The court ordered the Secretary of Agriculture Department Balochistan not to recruit anyone for these posts till further order. The Bench also restrained Secretary Labour and Manpower Balochistan from the recruitment process.
The hearing of the case was adjourned till August 25th.
