Hyderabad:
Sindh’s educational advice, awaiting appointment of full -time presidents for several years, will probably continue to operate under temporary access chiefs while the Sindh High Court has suspended the recent nominations of eight presidents for advice.
The Hyderabad circuit bench put the respondents on Tuesday, including the Sindh government through the chief secretary, the Sindh Universities and Boards Department and the Research Committee in addition to the eight presidents, in mind on March 26.
“Until the date of said date, the subject’s summary does not carry out the adversity of the petitioners,” reads the order.
The petitioners Abdul Jabbar Abbassi and Sikandar Ali Mirjat were candidates in the recruitment process. The first is an associate teacher teacher the English language, based in Hyderabad, and the second is the chairman of the board of directors of intermediate and secondary education, Larkana.
A summary was moved with these eight names, in addition to one of the Brigs Syed Waseem Akhtar, to the chief minister of Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah, on February 3. But the name of Akhtar in the preselected candidates aroused a reaction in the province because of his home from another province, preventing him from withdrawing his candidacy.
“This is another example that demonstrates that the recruitment process is a sham and based on nepotism and the Puets of Mala Fides,” said the petitioners.
The CM, March 1, approved the eight names recommended by the Research Committee for appointment.
The two petitioners embodied their case on the assertion that the research committee, which led recruitment, has put out of service because its field is limited to the appointments of vice-chancellors of public sector universities.
Another argument, argued by the president of Bise Larkana, Mirjat, cited that none of the eight presidents had previous work experience in the educational advice of the Sindh.
He allegedly alleged that all employees of the Board of Directors with relevant work experience had been ignored in the process of nominating in violation of the court order. He recalled that the secretary’s commissions and the universities had given verbal insurance in the SHC on December 13, 2024, declaring: “In cases where candidates with equal qualifications are available, preference would be granted to those who have work experience within the department.”
The petitioner stressed that the same declaration was part of the judge’s order, but the government’s respondents ended up flouting this order.
There are seven educational councils and technical council in the province. The eight names recommended for the posts of the presidents include Dr. Asif Ali Memon, Ghulam Hussain Soho, Mansoor Rajput, Muhammad Misbah Tunio, Musharraf Ali Rajput, Dr Rafiq Ahmed Chandio, Khalid Hussain Mahar and Dr Zahid Ali Channar. They obtained 56 to 59.4 scores in the recruitment process.
The posts of the president of The Biss of Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Mirpurkhas and Nawabshah, as well as the secondary and higher education councils of Karachi and the Sindh Board of Technical Education, were announced in December, 2023. The petitioners asked the court to consider the meetings and on February 20 Reversion and its 1 walk 1 walk.
They also pleaded the court to retain the notification of appointments and to prevent the selected candidates from acting in accordance with the summary.
