ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Constitutional Court has issued a notice to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government regarding the dismissal of employees appointed under the caretaker government.
“The recruitment of my client was carried out in full compliance with all the requirements of the caretaker government,” argued lawyer Khushal Khan, adding that the current KP government dismissed these employees as soon as it came to power.
Justice Hasan Rizvi noted that the provincial assembly had passed the law on dismissal of employees. The KP Employees Dismissal Bill 2025 was passed in January, requiring the provincial government to dismiss certain government employees appointed during the caretaker government’s term in 2023.
According to the legislation, employees who were “illegally recruited by the interim government” in 2023 will be fired. After the bill was approved, relevant institutions and departments issued notices of dismissal of employees.
The bill states that a committee of six members will be formed under the chairmanship of the establishment secretary.
