Principles of Public Service Appointments

The Supreme Court of Pakistan emphasizes that appointments in public service are a sacred trust that must be conducted honestly and transparently for the public good. Failing to select the most qualified individuals for public positions is a violation of public trust and undermines societal respect for law and justice. Such practices can lead to chaos and should be actively suppressed to maintain order in society.

General Principles

2006 S C M R 1876

[Supreme Court of Pakistan]

Present: Khalil-ur-Rehman Ramday and Raja Fayyaz Ahmed, JJ

CHIEF SECRETARY PUNJAB and others----Petitioners

Versus

ABDUL RAOOF DASTI----Respondent

(e) Civil service---

----Appointment---Principles---Choosing persons for public service is not just


providing a job and the consequent livelihood to the one in need but is a sacred
trust to be discharged by those charged with it, honestly, fairly, in a just and
transparent manner and in the best interest of public---Individuals so selected are to
be paid not out of the private pocket of the persons appointing them but by the
people through the public exchequer---Not selecting the best as public servants is a
gross breach of public trust and is an offence against public, who has a right to be
served by the best; it is also a blatant violation of the rights of those who may be
available and whose rights to the posts are denied to them by appointing
unqualified or even less qualified persons to such posts---Such practice and
conduct is highly unjust and spreads a message from those in authority that might
is right and not vice versa, which message gets gradually permeated to grass-root
level leading ultimately to a society having no respect for law, justice and fair
play---Evil norms ultimately lead to anarchic and chaotic situations in a society---
Such likes evil tendencies should be suppressed and eliminated before the same
eliminate us all.
