Fair Annual Report of FPSC-2014
2014
Mr. President,
I have the privilege to present the Annual Report of the Federal Public Service
Commission (FPSC) for the year 2014 encompassing the period from January 1 to December 31,
2014 as mandated under Section 9 of the FPSC Ordinance 1977. The Ordinance, inter alia,
requires that a copy of this Report is to be laid before the National Assembly and the Senate of
Pakistan.
2. Articles 27, 34, 36 and 38 (g) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan
provides the guiding framework while Sections 7 and 8 set out the statutory functions performed
by the Commission. These are broadly classified into four categories: (a) conducting tests and
examinations for recruitment of persons to All-Pakistan Service, the civil services of the
federation and the civil posts in connection with the affairs of the federation in basic scales 16
and above or equivalent; (b) tender advice to the President of Pakistan on methods and
principles to be followed in making initial appointment and appointment by promotion as well
as appointment by transfer; (c) holding examinations for promotion; and (d) performing quasi-
judicial function by disposing representations and review petitions of the aggrieved candidates.
Pursuant to this guiding framework and statutory functions, the Commission ensures that the
selection to the civil service is steered in a competitive, fair and transparent manner on merit
without fear and favour.
3. The Competitive Examination is the prime examination held by the Commission for
selecting officers for the civil service in Pakistan. The Commission notified the allocation of
candidates to twelve Occupational Groups and Services on the basis of Central Superior
Services Competitive Examination-2013 and conducted the Competitive Examination-2014. In
addition, the Commission conducted in-service Final Passing Out Examination of various
Occupational Groups and Services. Besides, a large number of Screening Tests as well as
Descriptive Tests for selection of candidates for Ex-cadre posts requisitioned by concerned
Ministries/ Divisions / Departments were also held during 2014. Details are as follows:
(i) Central Superior Services Competitive Examinations (CE): Merely 1.92 percent of the
candidates appeared in CE-2013 finally qualified but only 1.72 percent of the candidates
appeared could be allocated. Consequently, 72 vacancies could not be filled. The
noticeable statistics are below:
Likewise, only 2.86 percent of the candidates appeared could qualify in the CE-
2014 and only 1.77 percent of the candidates appeared could be allocated to different
Groups and Services while 82 vacancies had to be carried forward. The striking features
of CE-2014 are listed below:
The Report carries a detailed analysis and highlights the reasons for such a low
percentage qualifying the Competitive Examination during the last two years to provide
guidance to policy makers.
(ii) Recruitment for Technical and Professional Ex-Cadre Posts: The outcome of screening
tests/descriptive tests and interviews held for selection through Direct (General)
Recruitment for professional and Ex-cadre posts in BS-16 and above in various
Ministries/Divisions and Departments of the Federal Government during 2014. The
narrative is not much different either. The statistics are as follows:
(iii) Final Passing Out Examinations Held During 2014: The Commission conducted Final
Passing Out Examinations for the Probationers of twelve Occupational Groups and
Services after completion of specialized training from respective training
institutes/academies. FPOE determines the final merit and inter-se seniority of the
Probationers in their respective Groups and Services. 319 probationers appeared and only
189 (59%) qualified. The failure ratio in Pakistan Audit and Accounts Service (88%),
Inland Revenue Service (66%) and Railways Group (75%) was higher than other
groups/services.
(iv) Appeals of Candidates against their Rejections: In recent past, the litigation has
increased tremendously, mostly invoking writ jurisdiction of the Courts. In addition,
Section 7(3) of FPSC ordinance provides opportunity of Representation and Review
Petition against any decision of the Commission. The Commission processed 961
Representations, provided Personal Hearings and finalized Review Petitions of the
candidates during 2014 in General Recruitment and CSS out of which, relief was provided
in 232 cases. 154 candidates filed appeals in the Superior Courts whereas the cumulative
pending cases were 382.
(v) Advice on Rules for Recruitment: The Commission received 92 cases for seeking advice
on Rules for Recruitment, under Section 7(1) (b) of the FPSC Ordinance, 1977 from
different Ministries/Divisions/Departments during 2014. Advice was tendered in 62 cases
while 22 cases were under process and 8 cases were closed.
(vi) Cases where Implementation of Advice of the Commission was Delayed: According
to instructions of the Federal Government, the offer of appointment is required to be
issued within one month after receipt of nomination from the Commission. These
instructions are sometimes not complied with by the concerned Ministries/ Divisions /
Departments. During the year 2014, implementation of advice of the Commission was
delayed in 18 cases.
Observations
4. The Commission, on the basis of statistics and experiences during interviews , wishes to
record the following observations:
(a) The applicants to post ratio for CSS Examination 2014 was 78.22, higher than the
ratio of 60.14 for CSS Examination 2013. Similarly for General Recruitment,
applicants to post ratio was 107.95 in 2014 as compared to 83.83 during 2013.
The increasing number of applications to post ratio is indicative of rising
unemployment in the country, especially amongst educated youth. The policy
makers may take notice of this trend.
(b) The examiners from various Universities across the country have pointed out
deficiencies in intellectual and cognitive abilities and common sense amongst
candidates appearing in various examinations. It includes lack of analytical skills
and critical approach, inability to comprehend the issues, non- familiarity with
subjects and poor presentation based on illogical arguments with wrong or
irrelevant data. They have also observed vast differences in standards of public
and private school and higher education institutions accentuated by urban/rural
divide.
(c) Approximate one-quarter of the advertised posts (26 percent in CSS and 20
percent for General Recruitment against Ex-Cadre posts) remained unfilled
because of non-availability of eligible and qualified candidates. Major share of
these posts belong to women, minorities and smaller provinces. It is indicative of
scarcity in qualified and experienced candidates in relevant disciplines,
deficiency in quality education and absence of necessary policy focus to
encourage participation from these segments.
(d) The performance of Probationers in Final Passing Out Examinations
demonstrates falling standards of training, both in substance and quality, and
training instruments used at training Academies and Institutions. 41 percent
failure rate in the FPOEs and observations of the examiners is clearly reflective
of lack of seriousness and professionalism of the Probationers on the one hand
and quality of directing staff as well as training modules taught at training
institutions. The examiners have reported that the Probationers are lacking in
analytical skills and logical thinking, inability to comprehend questions and
structuring their answers, and deficient in application of knowledge especially in
Open-Book tests and macro outlook. The National School of Public Policy and
5. The Commission, in its endeavor to mine talent for a vibrant, efficient and productive
Civil Service, has implemented the following reforms:
(a) New Scheme for CSS Competitive Examination has been notified, applicable
effective from CE-2016, including addition of new disciplines (Governance and
Public Policy, Town Planning and Urban Development, Gender Studies,
Environmental Science, Criminology and Anthropology), rationalizing marks
allocated to optional subjects, revision and updating syllabus of all compulsory
and optional subjects in collaboration with the HEC’s designated panel of subject
specialists, introducing logic as part of Every Day Science and Groups of
optional subjects tightening loose ends.
(b) Revamping the Section Officer Promotional Examination (SOPE) Scheme and
notified with approval of the Government making it more effective to filter
inefficiencies and redundancies.
(c) Reforming the entire system of General Recruitment against EX-Cadre posts
introducing written examination for recruitment in BPS-18 to BPS-20 to
determine eligibility of qualified candidates and including Case Method for BPS-
20.
(h) The Commission embarked upon automation of its internal systems and
processes in April 2013 with gradual shift to on-line applications, processing,
issuance of admit cards, result announcement and nomination of selected
candidates. In addition, FPSC’s website has been enriched with necessary
information to provide clarity to the applicants. Today, 100 percent applications
for the CSS Examination as well as General Recruitment are received online
from across the country including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Recommendations and Advice Tendered
6. The Commission has recommended following policy initiatives for approval of the
Government to maintain high standard performance in general recruitment and Competitive
Examination, which have been discussed at length latter in the Report, decision of the
Government is still awaited:
(a) Draft Bill to amend FPSC Ordinance 1977, to make the Commission more
autonomous, effective and efficient.
(b) Draft FPSC (Functions) Rules 2015 to replace 1978 rules and FPSC (Conduct of
Business) Rules 2015 to replace 1963 rules were updated, which after due
diligence and lengthy deliberations between the Commission, Establishment
Division and Law & Justice Division, have finally been vetted by the Law and
Justice Division.
(c) Draft Induction of Officers of Armed Forces Officers into Civil Posts Rules 2015.
(e) Scheme for Introducing Screening Test prior to main CSS Competitive
Examination to filter non-serious candidates and making the examination more
competitive.
Mr. President,
7. The Federal Public Service Commission recognizes that it is imperative for the
Government to have an efficient and diverse civil service that reflects and has the confidence of
the people it serves. Towards this end, it is important that the Commission is allowed to function
in accordance with spirit of the Constitution rather than undermining its autonomy by relegating
it to an Attached Department by the bureaucracy. Prescribing qualifications for appointment of
Members of the Commission will be a step forward in refining its quality and strengthening its
credibility further.
8. The achievements of the Commission in 2014 would not have been possible without hard
work, dedication and commitment of all Members of the Commission. In particular, I would like
to place on record my gratitude and deep appreciation for the former Chairman Malik Asif
Hayat and Member Mr. Abdul Wajid Rana, for their contributions in developing and firming up
various policy proposals and drafting laws and rules highlighted supra, revamping Competitive
Examination, General Recruitment System, SOPE, strengthening Psychological Assessment
refurbishing internal systems and proposing Promotion Policy Reform on the direction of the
Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan and different aspects of civil service reforms. Never before
in the history of the Commission has such magnitude of reform work been carried out as has
been done by them. They worked with missionary zeal to build, promote and sustain the growth
of strong and committed civil service in Pakistan through these reforms. I would also like to
record my sincerest thanks for the untiring efforts of Officers and Staff of Office of the FPSC to
facilitate the Commission in discharging its functions.
9. To conclude, the Commission places on record its gratitude to the Honourable President
of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Government for their continued support to this
constitutional institution.

CHAPTER 1
Highlights
1.1. To have an effective and diverse civil service that reflects, and has the confidence of, the people
it serves, the Commission undertook various initiatives. Some of these initiatives were to bring
qualitative improvement in the structures and procedures of the Commission, whereas the other were
relating to Civil Service Reforms, CSS Competitive Examination Reforms, Final Passing Out
Examination, General Recruitment Policy, Section Officers Promotional Exam and various other reform
proposals which are discussed in detail.
(Chapter 3)
1.2. The Commission finalized the process of Competitive Examination-2013 in which 11,447
candidates appeared. 220 candidates finally qualified the examination. The Commission recommended
194 candidates allocating to various Occupational Groups and Services in BS-17. The Commission
processed 24,640 applications for the Competitive Examination 2014, where in 13,170 candidates
appeared and 439 qualified in the written examination and after announcement of final merit, 377
qualified the examination and 233 allocated to various occupational Group/Services. So far as, CSS
Competitive Examination 2015 is concerned, the Commission received 22,411 applications.
(Chapter 5)
1.3. The Commission processed 351,910 applications for 3,260 posts during 2014 as compared to
141,665 for 1690 posts in 2013 for selection by Direct (General) Recruitment in BS-16 to BS-21. APR
in 2014 was 101 against 72 in 2013 demonstrating high level of educated unemployed. 2,489 candidates
were interviewed and 794 were nominated by the Commission for appointment. Consequently, the
Screening Tests are consuming more time in processing because of higher number of applications.
(Chapter 6)
1.4. The Commission in 2014 held Final Passing Out Examinations for all 12 Occupational Groups
and Services after completion of Specialized Training. 319 probationers took the FPOEs against 349 in
2013. The qualifying ratio in 2014 was 59 percent as compared to 72.5 percent in 2013. There were
higher failure ratios in Pakistan Audit and Accounts Service (88%), Railway Group (75%), Inland
Revenue Service (66%) and Commerce and Trade Group (60%).
(Chapter 7)
1.5. The Psychological Assessment system of FPSC for the candidates qualifying the written
component of the Competitive Examination as well as induction of Armed Forces Officers into civil
posts has been refurbished. Comprehensive reforms and efforts are underway to further improve it.
100% IT Services provided by the Commission has been substantially expanded and are being
successfully implemented. Curriculum development for General Recruitment was carried out and
implemented focusing on the addition of latest topics. Advice of the Commission not accepted in the
cases was brought into the notice of the government.
1.6. Budgetary constraints are restraining the Commission in discharging its statutory functions.
Other administrative measures to enhance the capacity of human resources of the Commission and to
improve the service delivery were also taken by the Commission.
(Chapter 12)
CHAPTER 2
2.1. The historical evolution of the Federal Public Service Commission is mapped below:
(a) The origin of the Public Service Commission (PSC) in the South-Asian sub-continent
can be traced to the Government of India Act 1858 under which power to regulate
appointments to the ‘Indian Civil Service’ was vested in the Secretary of State who
was to act on the advice and assistance of Her Majesty’s Civil Service
Commissioners.
(b) In 1886, a Public Service Commission was constituted, with Sir C.U. Atchison as its
Chairman, which recommended that, among others, the cadre of covenanted civil
services should be reduced to an elite cadre, limiting its number to only the important
administrative appointments for ‘Imperial Civil Service’ (ICS) of India; other posts
were transferred to indigenous ‘Provincial Civil Service’. Recruitment to the ICS,
later re-christened as Indian Civil Service, was made through annual examinations
held in Britain.
(c) The Islington Commission (1912-1917) recommended that civil services should be
put into four categories namely Imperial, Central, Provincial and Subordinate
services.
(d) The 1919 Act provided for establishment of a Public Service Commission at the
Centre, entrusted with the task of recruitments to the higher echelons in civil services,
with requisite independence and security against unhealthy personal and political
considerations.
2.2. The first Public Service Commission was set up in South-Asian Sub-Continent, recommended
by Lord Lee Commission, on October 1, 1926 under the Chairmanship of Sir Ross Barker with five
members including the Chairman for renewable tenure of five years. The demand for ‘indianization’ of
the Civil Services by the founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah resulted in the
setting up of a Federal Public Service Commission under the Government of India Act, 1935. After
independence on August 14, 1947, the Government of India Act, 1935 was adopted as Provisional
Constitution of Pakistan continuing the functioning of the Commission. However, over time its
nomenclature underwent many changes: Pakistan Public Service Commission (1947-1956); Federal
Public Service Commission (1956-1962); Central Public Service Commission (1962-1972); Federal
Public Service Commission since April 1972 (Interim Constitution) and continuing under Article 242 of
the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973. Relevant extracts from the Government of India Act, 1935,
Constitutions of Islamic Republic of Pakistan 1956, 1962, 1972 and 1973 are at Annex-1. List of
former Chairmen of the Commission since 1947 is at Appendix-3.
2.3. The Government of India Act, 1935, the Constitutions of 1956 and 1962 and the Interim
Constitution 1972 envisaged an independent Federal Public Service Commission, free from political
pressures or interference from the Executive. It is substantiated by the fact that the composition, tenure
of the Chairman and Members as well as their removal, functions of the Commission and additional
functions to be assigned were all safeguarded and protected in the Constitution rather than any statute.
2.4. The Commission was not only required to conduct tests and examinations for the selection of
suitable persons for appointment to the All Pakistan Services, the civil services of the Centre and civil
posts connected with the affairs of the Federation. It was not restricted to initial appointments but all
appointments to the services of the Federation. In addition, it was mandatory to consult the Commission
on principles to be followed in making appointments to civil services and posts and in making
promotions and transfers from one service to another and on the suitability of candidates for such
appointments, promotions or transfers, on all disciplinary matters affecting a person serving the
Federation and pension. The Commission could be entrusted with additional functions by law and the
Governor with the approval of the President could seek advice of the Commission regarding an officer
in the services of a Province. The Act of 1935 also provided financial autonomy to the Commission and
declared the expenditure of the Commission as Charged.
2.5. The tenure of the Chairman and Members under the 1956 Constitution was fixed at 5 years
which was reduced to 3 years in 1962 Constitution and Interim Constitution of 1972. However, the
serving officers were eligible for appointment as Members and there was no bar on their employment in
the Services of Pakistan after completion of tenure under 1962 and Interim Constitution of 1972.
2.6. The spirit behind these constitutional provisions was to guarantee merit based impartial and
qualified civil service. The Commission was expected to perform a key role in promoting excellence
and integrity in the public service and administration of the country. Its independence, political
neutrality, transparency, accountability, integrity, capacity to adjust its systems to rapidly changing
environment and effectiveness are fundamental requisites to carry out its functions effectively. The
objective was to insulate the Commission from any executive pressures and political interference.
2.7. Nonetheless, what the two major disruptions in the Constitutional Rule in Pakistan viz. (i)
October 1958-June 1962 and (ii) March 1969-April 1972 could not do to undermine the independence
of the Commission or restricting its functions, was successfully achieved in 1973. While India,
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal continued to safeguard the composition, tenure and functions of the
Commission in their respective Constitutions, the Government in 1973 diluted the independence and
autonomy of the Commission by defining its composition, tenure, and functions by law rather than the
Constitution. An Ordinance was promulgated on August 15, 1973, later on enacted as an Act, which
reduced functions of the Commission substantially. It was an attempt to make the Commission
subordinate to the Executive and thereby compromising its independence.
2.8. The salient features of the FPSC Act of 1973 included: (i) a Commission consisting of not less
than 3 Members to be appointed by the President; (ii) tenure of 3 years extendable for such period as the
President may determine; and (iii) terminate a member before expiration of tenure. The functions
assigned to the Commission were restricted to: (a) to conduct tests and examinations for recruitment to
the All Pakistan Services and such posts in connection with the affairs of the Federation and such post in
or under a Corporation or other body or organization set up by the Federal Government under any law,
as may be prescribed; and (b) to advise the President on such matters as may be prescribed including
terms and conditions of service of persons who are members of an All Pakistan Services and such posts
in connection with the affairs of the Federation. The FPSC Act, 1973, excluded from the purview of the
Commission (i) appointments to Services of the Federation, though the Commission continued to hold
annual examinations for BPS-17 posts in these services; (ii) promotions which were entrusted to the
Central Selection Board; (iii) disciplinary cases which were entrusted to Federal Services Tribunal; (iv)
pension cases to the Auditor General of Pakistan. The very purpose was to by-pass the Commission for
lateral induction in every Ministry.
2.9. After 1977 Martial Law, the FPSC Act 1973 was repealed and it was replaced by the FPSC
Ordinance, 1977 in December 1977 which restored the independence of the Commission to a large
extent, brought the initial appointment to the Services of the Federation under the FPSC purview; and
recruitment to specific posts in BPS-11 to 16 was also brought within the purview of the Commission.
The spirit behind this was to restore the independence of the Commission.
2.10. Chronological events after promulgation of the FPSC Ordinance 1977 are as follows:
(i) In 1980, inductions against quota earmarked for Armed Forces were subjected to
Defence Officers Services Board based mechanisms after validating appointments
made without the FPSC recommendations during 1977-80. However, in 1991, the
induction of officers in the post of services of Pakistan was subjected to
recommendations of the Commission.
(ii) In 1985, appointment of the Chairman was subjected to President’s discretion vide
th
P.O. 14 of 1985 inserting sub-Article IA under Article 242. Nevertheless, 18
Constitutional Amendment restored the primacy of the Prime Minister’s advice and
amended sub-Article 1A of Article 242 of the Constitution.
(a) To grant 5-years non-renewable statutory tenure to the Chairman and the
members as originally envisaged in 1956 Constitution;
(b) Removal of the Chairman and Members was subjected to Supreme Judicial
Council framework, to provide security of service at par with Judges of the
Superior Courts as originally envisaged in 1956, 1962 and 1972 Constitutions.
(d) By a parallel amendment in the Civil Servants Act 1973, the FPSC Chairman
was designated as CSB Chairperson for promotions from BPS 19 to BPS 20
and from BPS 20 to BPS 21.
2.11. The objectives of all these amendments after 1977 were to sustain the independence of the
Commission as well as empowering it to regulate the affairs of the posts in All-Pakistan Service,
Services of the Federation and the civil posts in connection with the affairs of the Federation.
However, during 2005 to 2010, attempts were again made, duly spearheaded by the controlling
Ministry, to undermine the authority and powers of the Commission on whimsical grounds as the
Commission had refused to buckle down to Executive’s illegitimate desires. The then Government
reduced the tenure of Chairman and Members from 5 years to 3 years through an Ordinance, later on
enacted as Act V of 2006, despite legal cover and security that they can be removed only by the
Supreme Judicial Council. Ordinances were issued in 2009 and 2010 to remove the Chairman from
the Chairmanship of the Central Selection Board but these Ordinances were lapsed.
2.12. The FPSC has continued to enjoy unqualified public trust and confidence in its transparent
and professional contributions throughout its existence, by way of merit-based recommendations for
initial appointments in public service and posts. Due regard was given to representation of federating
units, women, minorities, and backward areas. The Commission continued its advisory inputs for
formulating departmental rules / regulations for all departmental posts, from lowest to the top
management cadres. These were intended to strengthen good governance.
2.13. The Commission was neither designed nor perceived as mere a political recruitment agency,
or restricted to work as an advisory body; it has substantial role to perform at every stage of career
progression of the individual employee to ensure an efficient and productive civil service. Towards
this end, the Commission has compiled innumerable policy proposals for consideration of the
Government, the mediocrity in the relevant Ministry failed to realize their utility. Those who
designed its statutory charter from 1973 onwards or modified it as felt expedient, did not
comprehend dimensions of good governance in their entirety, which were impeccably preserved by
the framers of the 1956, 1962 and 1972 Constitutions. The bureaucratic mindset in the Controlling
Ministry is again attempting to subdue the independence of the Commission and relegating it to an
Attached Department. They have failed in grasping the spirit behind establishing Federal Public
Service Commission as a Constitutional Institution. Therefore, independence of the Commission, as
a Constitutional institution, has to be indeed meticulously preserved, maintained and sustained by the
men and women of integrity and character amongst those who are assigned to it from time to time, as
its custodians.
2.14 Pertinent to the Federal Public Service Commission, three cardinal principles deserve
mention: first, it is responsible for a merit-based recruitment to the All-Pakistan services, civil
services of the federation and civil posts in connection with the affairs of the federation in BPS -16
and above or equivalent; second, it is responsible for advising the president on matters relating to
qualification and methods of recruitment to these services, as well as the principles to be followed
in making initial appointments to the services; and third, the chairman is responsible for heading
the central selection board for promotions to BPS-20 and BPS-21.
2.15 Section 7 of the Federal Public Service Commission Ordinance, 1977 stipulates as follows:
(iii) on any other matter which the President may refer to the Commission.
(c) To hold examination for promotion for such posts as the Federal Government may,
from time to time, by notification in the official gazette, specify.
Explanation:-
(2) Appointment to posts to be filled by appointing a person on contract beyond two years.
(3) Quasi-judicial functions of the Commission are stipulated in Section 7 (3) (a) (b) iterated
below:
Section 7 (3)(a): A candidate aggrieved by any decision of the Federal Public Service
Commission may, within thirty days of such decision, make a representation to the
Commission and the Commission shall decide the representation within fifteen days after
giving the candidate a reasonable opportunity of hearing. The decision of the Commission,
subject to the result of review petition, shall be final.
Section 7 (3)(b): A candidate aggrieved by the decision of the Commission made under
paragraph (a) may, within fifteen days of the decision, submit a review petition to the
Commission and the Commission shall decide the review petition within thirty days under
intimation to the petitioner.
2.16. Reading Sections 2, 3, 7 of the FPSC Ordinance, 1977, conjunctively with Regulations 3 and
11 of the FPSC Regulations 1978 infers that the law framers have deliberately not used the word
“FPSC Secretariat” but “Staff of the Commission” in these Regulations meaning thereby that the
primary responsibility of the functions assigned under Section 7 of the FPSC Ordinance rests with
the Commission and Staff is there in support role and not decision-making role to facilitate the
Commission in discharging its functions. The Commission means collectively or acting in
Committees constituted under Section 7-A of the Ordinance and not individually as definition of
“Member” of the Commission includes “Chairman”. The Commission is expected, by the citizens
and all other stakeholders, to discharge its functions without fear or favour, affection or ill will to
cement integrity, secrecy and credibility of the system. The Commission must make every endeavor
to jealously guard the public trust and faith in it and the staff, by no means, be allowed to permeate
tendencies which can compromise its uprightness. Going forward, the Commission may consider
prescribing parameters for appointment Members of the Commission to induct men of intellect,
standing and integrity.
CHAPTER 3
Reforming the System and
Advice to the Government
3.2. Good governance that gained prominence during the last two decades has paved way for
better and effective governance. Achieving effective governance depends on developing and
maintaining appropriate and accepted governance structures and frameworks; it also depends heavily
on the application of appropriate governance choices and a commitment to making them work. It is
the positive interaction between the ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ elements of governance—the structural and
people elements—that leads to improved performance. Towards this end, strong leadership is a
critical driver for success; it can ensure appropriate governance arrangements are in place and foster
ownership of the entity’s goals and strategies by its staff. It is based on principles including:
(ii) Integrity—acting impartially, ethically and in the interests of the State, and not
misusing information acquired through a position of trust;
(iii) Stewardship—using every opportunity to enhance the value of the public assets and
institutions that have been entrusted to care;
(iv) Efficiency—ensuring the best use of resources to further the aims of the State, with a
commitment to evidence-based strategies for improvement;
3.3. The importance of the Civil Service to better governance stems from the following:
3.4. However, the ailments currently afflicting Pakistan civil services include:
3.5. Civil Service Reform is a deliberate change effort by government to improve its capacity to
effectively and efficiently execute policies. Reforms in the Civil Service have occurred ever since the
Chinese invented bureaucracy – they are a continuous process with no general starting point, and
equally no end. Civil Service Reform aims at strengthening administrative capacity to perform core
government functions. These reforms raise the quality of services to the citizens that are essential to
the promotion of sustainable economic and social development. CSR can contribute to
macroeconomic stabilization by restoring budgetary stability, strengthening revenue collection,
managing aid effectively, and improving development performance through proper implementation
of investment frameworks and the management of public expenditure plans and programmes. The
reform can contribute to the design and implementation of an equitable programme of social
development. Enhancing the capacity of civil servants and improving their morale are critical to all
these functions. A well-functioning civil service helps to foster good policy making, effective service
delivery, accountability and responsibility in utilizing public resources which are the characteristics
of better governance.
3.6. Nevertheless, Civil Services reform cannot be seen in isolation and it has to be undertaken
along with governance reforms for effective results. Governance reform needs to focus on
eliminating culture of neo-patrimonialism and politics of kinship and patronage which is frustrating
any move towards modernism. Any effort for Civil Service Reform will fail to bring a meaningful
change in an environment where state institutions and political governance constantly broker their
authority for the reasons: (i) continuous challenges are hurled to popular sovereignty with non-state
actors undertaking many of the traditional functions of the state including dispensation of justice at
some places; (ii) elaborate system of patronage and clientele making the bureaucracy dysfunctional;
(iii) Prebendalism, and endemic corruption making the institutions irrelevant; and (iv) resistance to
change and reform. ‘Power is everywhere’ and ‘comes from everywhere’ so in this sense is neither
an agency nor a structure, says Michel Foucault. Instead it is a kind of ‘metapower’ or ‘regime of
truth’ that pervades society, and which is in constant flux and negotiation.
3.7. Better and effective governance in parallel with the Civil Service Reform provides the
foundation for sustainable development and a strong civil service makes good governance
possible through professionalism, tempered with human considerations, empowerment grounded
on self-discipline, and commitment graced with creativity and innovation. True to this mission,
the Commission, in every possible way, worked with missionary zeal to build, promote and
sustain the growth of strong and committed Pakistani civil servants through these reforms. In all
these efforts, the Commission was inspired by our people’s aspirations for our country to stand
proud and strong in the international community, with a civil service that is truly world class and
globally competitive. The Commission has introduced the following reforms:
(i) Restructuring and updating the syllabus of the Competitive Examination: The
syllabus for the Competitive Examination, which was last revised in 1981, has been
comprehensively updated in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission and
country-wide Universities’ Professors/Subject Specialists. Marks of many subjects have
been rationalized and 6 new optional subjects viz. Governance and Public Policy,
Criminology, Gender Studies, Environmental Science, Anthropology and Town Planning
and Urban Management have been added to the list. Comparative Study of Major Religion
has been introduced for non-Muslims rather than awarding them marks on notional basis
equal to marks obtained in Pakistan Affairs. Optional subjects have been re-grouped to
tighten the loose ends which will provide level playing field to both students of Natural
Sciences and Social Sciences and will make the examination more competitive. The new
structure and syllabus has been notified and will become effective from CE-2016.
(iii) Overhauling General Recruitment System: General recruitment against ex-cadre posts in
BPS- 16 to 19 was based on MCQs test and interview of successful candidates while
recruitment against BPS-20 posts was based only on interviews. Nevertheless, considering
the criticality of middle management (BPS-18 to BPS-20) in overall organizational
performance and the fact that they (i) assimilate the vision and strategy of the top
management and translates that to concrete plans, communicate with the junior management
and non-management staff and execute these plans; (ii) act as a bridge or a buffer between the
senior management and the junior managers; (iii) are expected to help the employees
understand their job responsibilities, communicate with the technical staff and the senior
management, both verbally and in writing; (iv) keep the organization moving forward and
maintain performance of the organization. The organization of the present and the future
requires this tier to be strong, effective and well prepared to deal with the internal and
external challenges. One of the many reasons for persistent decline in the government
effectiveness and governance is a weak and ill-equipped middle management in many
organizations in Pakistan. Towards this end, the General Recruitment System for selection of
candidates against Ex-Cadre posts has been refurbished as follows:
BPS-20 and 21 Merit based on English Essay or Case Study and Interview
(v) Automation in the Commission: The Commission has moved from manual to a complete
on-line registration and submission of applications for General Recruitment (Direct
Recruitment by Selection) and Competitive Examination with appropriate filters and facility
of uploading necessary documents. Likewise, pre-selection, issuance of admission,
certificates for examination, examination centres, any change in thereof, result of screening
test, final result, mark sheet and selection of candidates for General Recruitment is fully on-
line. It has accelerated the process of finalizing the recruitment for various cases.
(vi) Data Bank: The Commission is developing a data bank of Multiple Choice Questions
(MCQs) to set-up papers for different difficulty levels in-house to be used in Screening Test
for general recruitment instead of relying on the external examiners. Answer sheets are now
marked through Optical Mark Reader Scanners in-house to achieve optimal level of
efficiency and accuracy. It will save time and cost in preparation of papers as well as fast
track the process of announcing results of candidates.
(vii) Legal and Regulations Wing: In view of the increasing litigation as well as the Court cases
and to bring uniformity in the recruitment rules for various identical posts, a separate Legal
and Regulation Wing has been established at FPSC HQs. The Wing is now headed by a
Director General and manned by a Director to be filled with people experienced in law to
deal with increasing court cases and in-house support in processing the representations and
review petitions.
(viii) Improving the Logistical Arrangements: Standing Operating Procedures for conduct of
Examinations/Tests were updated and revised up to the expectations, observations and
demand of various stakeholders. This included: (a) serializing the answer sheets; (b) insertion
of water mark on each page of the answer book; (c) candidates are required to write serial
number of his/her answer book on the attendance sheet; (d) designing of new brass and secret
seals; (e) changing the design of answer sheets and additional sheets every year; (f) removal
of serial number and roll no and fixation of fictitious numbers before sending answer book
for checking; (g) making invigilators and supervisors responsible for every answer book and
additional sheets; (h) exhaustive changes in the security procedures in terms of dispatch as
well as safe custody of the answer books and (i) postpaid agreement with Pakistan Post
Office for delivery of insured parcels to FPSC. The revised SOPs were implemented in letter
and spirit during concurrence of examinations/tests in 2014.
3.8. The Commission sent a large number of policy proposals meant to reform various aspects of
the civil service system to the Establishment Division for seeking approval of the Government, listed
below, however, the approval is still awaited:
(i) Draft Bill to Further Amend the FPSC Ordinance 1977: The Draft Bill to further amend
the FPSC Ordinance 1977 was sent to the Establishment in July 2013. The objectives of the
Bill are (a) to ensure selection of qualified candidates for appointment in all government
entities including public sector corporate bodies and various authorities as well as posts in
connection with the affairs of the federation, which had been under the spotlight of judicial
scrutiny in the recent past, through a merit based competitive process in a transparent manner
in an effort towards good governance; (b) making the Commission more autonomous and
professional; (c) providing continuity and bringing tenure of members at par with other
statutory or regulatory bodies of the country; and (d) to ensure that the experience and skills
of the members post completion of tenure is available to the Government. It may be noted
that the tenure of members of the Public Service Commission in India and Nepal is 6 years, in
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is 5 years and in Canada it is 7 years. Nevertheless, the tenure of
Members in Pakistan has been reduced to 3 years in 2006.
(ii) Draft FPSC (Functions) Rule 2015: Over time, the Commission has been performing many
functions such as recruitment for Gilgit-Baltistan for various categories of services, Azad
Jammu and Kashmir Council, induction of officers from the Armed Forces, holding Final
Passing Out Examination for various Occupational Groups and Services, conducting inquiries
under Efficiency and Discipline Rules or in accordance with the law of the referral agencies
and various other functions but are not reflected in the FPSC (Functions) Rules 1978. It
required revising and updating these rules to provide legal cover to functions added to the
mandate and being performed by the Commission. Draft FPSC (Functions) Rules were
debated and discussed in number of meetings and the final draft agreed between the
Commission, Establishment Division and Law and Justice Division was vetted by the Law
and Justice Division on the basis of which a summary was submitted for seeking approval of
the Competent Authority as required under Section 10 of the Ordinance. It is now over 18
months when the process was initiated and almost around 6 months that the summary
containing the final vetted draft gathering dust on the shelves of the Controlling Ministry.
(iii) Draft FPSC (Conduct of Business) Rules 2015. Section 7-A of the FPSC Ordinance 1977
requires the Chairman to frame rules for conducting the business of the Commission in
consultation with the Government. Nevertheless, the Commission continued to conduct its
business under FPSC (Conduct of Business) Rules 1963 and through policy decisions of the
Commission. To streamline and regulating the business of the Commission, eliminate
arbitrariness and discretion in decision-making and to eradicate adhocism, the Commission
has drafted the FPSC (Conduct of Business) Rules after 51 years which were meant to
provide a legal framework for transparent and accountable decision making by the
Commission as these rules comprehensively covers all aspects of the business dealt by the
Commission. The draft rules were first forwarded to the Government in 2013 to seek its
concurrence as required under Section 7-A of the Ordinance. It ensued protracted back and
forth series of observations and finally, after 18 months, the agreed draft between the
Commission, Establishment Division and Law and Justice Division was vetted by the Law
and Justice Division. The summary containing the final vetted draft is submitted 6 months
before is trapped into bureaucratic red-tapism in the Controlling Ministry.
(iv) Draft Induction of Officer of Armed Forces in Civil Posts Rules, 2015: The Commission
forwarded these Rules to the Establishment Division in January 2015 for seeking approval
of the Government. The purpose of these rules is to streamline the induction process and
introducing rigorous method for induction to ensure parity and equity as well as quality
intake into civil posts. However, there is no response from the Establishment Division
although 10 months have elapsed since the rules were forwarded.
(vi) Enhancing Educational Qualification for the Competitive Examination: Considering that
80 to 86 percent of the candidates qualifying the Competitive Examination between 2008 to
2012 had 16 years or above educational qualification and, realizing that most of the public
and private sector Universities in Pakistan have moved to a 16 years bachelor degree program
and appreciating the fact that candidates with 16 years education are more aware of the global
changes, the Commission strongly recommended to the Government to change the
educational qualification from 14 years bachelor degree to 16 years education to be eligible to
take the Competitive Examination. This proposal is aligned with international practices. It is
almost over 2 years that approval from the Establishment Division is awaited which has
stalled qualitative improvement.
(vii) Screening Test for the Competitive Examination Applicants: The number of applicants
for the Competitive Examination is rising unabated over time. It has increased from 9056
applicants in CE-2009 to 24640 applicants in CE-2014, a growth of 172 percent. Candidates
actually appearing in the Examination has enhanced from 5707 in CE-2009 to 13169 in CE-
2014, a growth of 131 percent. It is resulting in delays in completing the Examination process
which is taking 18 months, compromising the objectivity in assessing the papers of
candidates and lowers the percentage of candidates qualifying the examination as the ratio of
failures is very high. Based on this empirical evidence and the feedback received from the
CSS Examination candidates, the Commission proposed to hold Screening Test or
Preliminary Examination of the applicants applying for the Competitive Examination
allowing only the qualifying candidates to take the main written examination which will
reduce the number to only serious candidates. The objective is to improve the quality of input
for the Competitive Examination, ensure objectivity in paper assessment, fast tracking the
entire process of Competitive Examination with the aim to reduce the time frame from 18 to
12 months and reduce the financial cost. India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka amongst SAARC
countries is already holding Screening Test before the main examination. Towards this end, a
comprehensive Screening Test Scheme was forwarded to the Government on June 28, 2013
for seeking its approval as follows:
There has been persistent demand from all quarters including candidates of the Competitive
Examination to hold this Preliminary Screening Test before the Main Examination.
Nevertheless, approval is still awaited despite a period of 2 years has elapsed. The proposal is
rusting in the corridors of power and the Establishment Division.
(viii) Final Passing Out Examination: Presently, the probationers are allowed three attempts to
qualify the FPOE. It inculcates laxity, inefficiency and non-seriousness in the civil service at
the very beginning of the career. It breeds incompetence and ineptitude in the bureaucracy on
the one hand and tempers with the expected discipline on the other. The demonstration effect
of the whole provision is to dilute the spirit of competition and efficiency in the services. This
provision also seems to be contrary to the intent of Section 6 of the Civil Servant Act, 1973.
In addition, there is anomaly between the Occupational Groups and Services (Probation,
Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 as well as the Occupational Groups and Services (Final
Passing Out Examination) Rules 2003 as the former allows three attempts while the later
provides 2 attempts. To revive the spirit of competition, seriousness and discipline in the civil
service, the Commission has strongly proposed to amend the Occupational Groups and
Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 to reduce the number of attempts
from four to two to align it with Occupational Groups and Services (Final Passing Out
Examination) Rules 2003. However, required action by the Establishment Division is still
awaited.
(ix) Deferment of Training: There are increasing occurrences of successful candidates of CSS
Competitive Examination seeking deferment of initial training as the Rule 3 (1) (ii) of the
Occupational Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 vests
wide-ranging powers to the Competent Authority to defer the training for any reason. The
probationers seeking deferment actually utilize that period to prepare for the next
Competitive Examination in an attempt to improve their existing position of Occupational
Group/Service and block the vacancy in the assigned group/service by obtaining deferment
and affect the right of immediate next qualified candidate. Very recently, instances have
come to the notice of Commission where the Establishment Division has granted deferment
from initial training consecutively four years and then allowing the Probationers to quit the
service without resignation against the spirit of the rules. The Commission has recommended
to the Government to delete Rule 3(1)(ii) of the Occupational Groups and Services
(Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 to discourage the probationers seeking
deferment of training on the untenable reasons and any misuse of this authority. Likewise,
recommendations have been made to amend Rule 4(1)(2) of the said rules to ensure that the
probationers take the training seriously, making the assessment of head of the training
institution in terms of unsatisfactory or fresh training more transparent and proposing
relegation of probationers in seniority in such cases. The decision of the Establishment
Division is still awaited.
(x) Promotion Policy: Following judgment of the Supreme Court of Pakistan in Constitutional
Petition 22 of 2013, the Government notified a Committee headed by Mr. Abdul Wajid Rana,
Member FPSC, to undertake exercise to outline the objective criteria for promotion to make
civil servant an honest officer and free from political pressure as has been noted in the
judgment. The Report was forwarded the report of the Committee to the Government in
December 2013 which recommended, inter alia, relates to: (a) Redesigned Performance
Evaluation Form for BPS-19 and 20 officers; (b) Performance equation; (c) Performance
Assessment framework for promotion; (d) Performance assessment of officers of Specialized
Cadres/Non-Cadres; (e) Specialization, a criteria for promotion to higher ranks; (f)
Mandatory Training Courses; (g) Redesigned Forms for Assessment of Mandatory Training
Courses; (h) revised Declaration of Income and Assets Form and Income Tax return
mandatory condition for promotion; (i) revised Panel Proforma for the Central Selection
Board; (j) objective criteria for promotion to BS-20 and BS-21 including minimum period
spent on duty in each Basic Scale, minimum period for which PERs be earned, training,
rotation policy, inquiry into assets, work related to functional ability and leadership, variety
of experience, estimated potential for higher management; (k) meetings of the Central
Selection Board; (l) revised form for Objective Assessment by CSB; (m) measures to be
taken by the Establishment Division including framing rules for induction into Secretariat
Group, sharing of posts, categorization of posts, career planning, formulating job description,
tenure enforcement, policy for nomination for mandatory training courses, consolidation of
performance policy and procedure for completion of inquiries. It is expected that enforcement
of above recommendations will ensure quality civil servants at the higher level management.
The decision of the Government is still awaited.
(xi) National University of Public Policy and Administration: Recognizing that there is a need
for an apex institution to impart higher education in the fields of public policy, public
administration and allied disciplines to prepare and groom the current and future generations
of officers in statecraft, good governance, strategic thinking and leadership to deal with
national international challenges of the 21st century effectively and acknowledging that there
is a need to produce leaders equipped with the skills of formulating public policy in a wide
range of fields as well as preparing future corporate leaders for the private sector; it was
considered imperative to establish an eminent state of the art seat of learning to disseminate
knowledge and impart training relating to statecraft, good governance, public policy
formulation and its effective enforcement through interdisciplinary teaching, research and
outreach, other relevant areas of study to provide for matters connected there with and
ancillary thereto. Therefore, it has been proposed to establish National University of Public
Policy and Administration by amalgamating NSPP and constituent units to offer degree
programs initially in the fields of public policy and governance, public administration,
international relations, development planning, international trade and commerce, fiscal policy
and taxation, financial sector policy, regulatory economics as well as managing regulators,
monetary economics, social and political economy, economic policy, science and technology
policy, Information Technology policy, energy security and policy, defence policy,
international law and diplomacy, peace and conflict studies, public health administration,
management sciences. A draft Bill was sent to the Chairman and Members, Board of
Governors, NSPP for consideration and moving forward. Nevertheless, the present leadership
in NSPP has been opposing the proposal.
(xii) Training: `Training’ improves the administrative output – quantitatively and qualitatively.
There has been a growing realization, in the recent years, all over the world that after
recruitment into civil services, training is necessary for gearing the bureaucracy to meet the
challenges of modern times and make the services more effective, efficient and goal-oriented.
It is training that is expected to imparts knowledge, shapes attitudes, cultivates skills and
builds work-habits. Training fills up the gaps between learning and practical requirements.
The formal training presented being imparted to the civil bureaucracy in Pakistan can be
divided into four categories: (1) Pre-Service Training which includes Initial or Foundation
Training (Common Training Program) and Specialized Training; (2) on the job training; (3)
In-Service Training including Mid-Career Management Training (MCMC), Middle
Management Training (SMC), Senior Management Training (NMC) and (4) Training
Abroad. Pre-Service Training equips new recruits to the Civil Services with the
understanding of political, social and economic infrastructure of the country as well as
familiarizes them with the atmosphere, in which they have to work. The Specialized Training
endows the civil servants the specialized skills required for the Occupational group they
belong to. In-Service Trainings blend the service experiences of the civil servants with
theoretical frameworks on various aspects of public policy and shape their talents and skills
for assuming higher responsibilities. In-service training takes over the training tasks initiated
by foundation or initial and specialized trainings and fills in the gaps. The training abroad to a
select few provides them opportunities to learn international experiences and best practices.
The Commission proposed the constitution of a Committee comprising Establishment
Division, NSPP, CSA, Specialized Training Academies/Institutes and the FPSC to review
training modules of all categories and align them with international best practices and needed
skills in the government besides introducing modern techniques of training rather relying on
rudimentary traditional methods of lecturing. However, the Establishment Division
categorically refuses to consent viewpoint of the Commission.
said Occupational Group and Service under the respective quota and shall be available for
allocation to the successful candidates of the immediate next competitive examination to be
held after such withdrawal; and (b) An additional vacancy occurring or accruing or
communicated at any time for any reason in an Occupational Group and Service under any
quota, after the posts have been announced or advertised and allocation process on the basis
of most recently held competitive examination is complete but before the commencement of
initial training, should be carried forward to the respective Occupational Groups and Services
and quota for immediate next competitive examination for central superior services; the
Establishment Division remained adamant to delete these proposal and ultimately approved
the CE-2016 Rules without these provisions.
3.9. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has recently noted in Civil Appeal No. 86 of 2015 that “the
Federal Public Service Commission is an independent statutory body which also derives
validity from Article 242 of the Constitution.” Contrary to this, the Controlling Ministry owes its
creation to the Rules of Business. Unfortunately, the mindset in the moribund Controlling Ministry is
extremely conservative, suffers from capacity deficit, lacks ability to look beyond the horizon and
deficient in futuristic vision. For these reasons, all the policy proposals listed above are pending in
the Controlling Ministry since long.
3.10. The Commission, based on its experiences during viva voce and interviews of candidates
appearing at provincial capitals, strongly feels that the Higher Education System requires critical
attention and focus of the policy makers for a comprehensive review of the disciplines presently
offered by the Universities/Institutes, both private and public, to determine redundancy and
qualitative advancement. While quantitative expansion and massification of higher education may
sound incredible cause, qualitative enhancement is equally vital. With globalization,
internationalization and transnational education, more emphasis is needed on quality, efficiency and
accountability of higher education institutions and on enhancement of teaching and research
activities including the development of internationally recognized manpower and pursuit of a world -
class research achievement. Traditional teaching methods based on decades’ old cyclostyled notes,
guides and guess papers to our education system and disincentivizing open dialogue in academic
institutions cannot equip the future generation with tools and skills necessary for innovation and
creativity. Most candidates, when challenged, lack conceptual clarity and application.
3.11. It is considered opinion of the Commission that the Civil service Reform is not merely about
recruitment and training but involves deliberate changes to the structures and processes of public
sector organizations with the purpose of good governance not only in political realm but also
economic and humans’ governance. The literature defines the civil service as “a political institution
that promotes joint action among many actors and stakeholders whose effort must be bent toward the
goals of public policy…..an institution of governance” (McGregor, 1996). The broad categories of
collaborations include: (i) between political institution and civil servants; (ii) between judiciary and
civil servants; (iii) between the public and private sector; (iv) between key societal actor including
politicians, academic institutions, the media, interest groups, gender and civil society; (v) the
national government and the provincial/regional governments; and (vi) the national government and
the international community. It may be added here that the Civil Service Reform is not an end by
itself but means to an end. It is far too serious a business to be handled by donors-funded
inexperienced consultants. Pollitt and Geert Bouckaert have identified four ends: (i) making savings
in public expenditure; (ii) effective policy formulation; (iii) making government operations more
efficient; and (iv) improving service quality and delivery. They have also identified intermediate
ends: (i) depoliticization of the bureaucracy; (ii) enhancing the Government’s accountability to the
legislature and citizenry for its policies, programs and financial management; (iii) freeing public
officials from bureaucratic restraints that inhibit their opportunities to manage. It needs
professionalism tempered with human consideration, empowerment grounded on self-discipline and
commitment graced with creativity and innovation.
3.12. Therefore, the civil service reforms need an integrated approach rather than ‘basket
approach’. It needs intense and conscientious diligence rather than haste. This process also requires
recognizing cultural and institutional factors unique to the country rather than importing models from
the websites and internet. Considering the variety of skills and knowledge required to perform
multifarious tasks of the civil service, it requires deliberations to identify the challenges, quality of
higher education, skills needed to overcome the challenges, reforming the processes, compensation,
harmonizing structures of civil service with government structures and other diverse issues including
inter-provincial coordination. It needs to be recognized that Big Bang approach to reform has failed
more than once in Pakistan, viz. 1960, 1973, 1979, 2001-02 and 2010. Therefore, preparing a
comprehensive package of reforms with gradual or incremental implementation is Hobson’s choice.
It may be added here that the Federal Public Service Commission is a necessary and key stakeholder
in any reform process given its mandate ordained in the Constitution and the law and cannot be
sidelined at whims. It is critical that the policy proposals enumerated supra are approved forthwith to
bring qualitative changes in the recruitment system.
CHAPTER 4
4.2. A comparison of the workload handled by the Commission during 2014 and 2013 is reflected at
Tables 2, 3, and 4.
Table 2. Recruitment through Competitive Examination

4.3. Regularization of Adhoc/Contract Appointments: Under section 11(b) of Civil Servant Act,
1973 and FPSC (Functions) Rules, 1978, the Commission shall, on a reference made by the appointing
authority, test persons who may have been appointed to a civil post without observing the prescribed
procedure or without fulfilling the prescribed qualifications, experience and age limits, and advise
whether they are fit to hold the post to which they were appointed, and, if not, whether they are fit to
hold any other civil post in the same or lower Basic Scale compatible with their qualifications and
experience. The Ministries/Divisions/Departments have regularized large number of contract/daily
wages employees without following the prescribed procedure and reference to the FPSC. The
Commission received and processed four such cases for regularization of services of adhoc/contract
appointees for retention in service during the year 2014. The particulars of the cases are at Appendix-8.
4.4. Representation/Review Petitions by the Candidates: During 2014, out of 2,025 rejected
candidates, 791 filed representations against their rejection in 79 recruitment cases. Representations of
162 candidates were accepted on production of additional evidence and supporting documents, whereas
542 rejected candidates were called for Personal Hearing by the Commission. Candidature of 54
petitioners was restored after personal hearing. 107 candidates had also submitted Review Petitions. 6
candidates were restored and the remaining Review Petitions were dismissed having no merit. Hence
out of 791 candidates who filed representation against their rejection, 222 (28%) candidates were
restored by the Commission as detailed at Appendix-9.
4.6. The Orders of the Commission on the selected Representations and Review Petitions filed by
rejected candidates is at Annex-10. These orders clearly reflect the integrity and credibility of the
Commission as these were passed despite tremendous pressure mustered by the applicants either
directly or through their relations/spouses. In one case, father of a candidate left no stone unturned to
secure favorable orders but failed.
4.7. Litigation: Candidates aggrieved by the final decision of the Commission in representations/
review petitions can file an appeal to the High Court under Section 7 (3)(d) of the FPSC Ordinance
1977 to seek redressal of their grievances. Apart from this mechanism, candidates also invoke writ
jurisdiction of the High Court on matters relating to recruitment through Competitive Examination,
General Recruitment and Human Resource matters. Details of pending cases in various Courts of Law,
related to FPSC, during the year 2014, are at Table 5.
4.8. Framing/ Amendment in Recruitment Rules During 2014: Under Section 7(I) (b) of the
FPSC Ordinance 1977, one of the functions of the Commission is to advise on matters relating to
qualifications and methods of recruitment to services and posts under purview of the Commission.
Pursuant to this provision, the Commission processed 92 cases of Recruitment Rules during the year
2014. The position of the cases is given at Table 6.
4.9. During the year under report, one meeting of the Commission was held on 28.04.2014 at FPSC
Head Quarter Islamabad, presided over by the Chairman FPSC. The Commission discussed various
agenda items relating to General Recruitment and Competitive Examination. The decisions taken in
these meeting are at Appendix-11.
4.10. Former Chairman FPSC, Malik Asif Hayat, presided over the meeting of the Central Selection
Board (CSB) from 11th to 13th February 2014 held at Establishment Division. The CSB considered cases
of promotion from BS-19 to BS-20 & BS-20 to BS-21. About 150 officers were recommended for
promotion relating to Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS), Police Service of Pakistan (PSP), Foreign
Service of Pakistan (FSP), Information Group (IG), Pakistan Audit & Accounts Service (PAAS),
Pakistan Customs Service, Commerce & Trade Group, Secretariat Group, Postal Group, Railways
Group and Ex-cadre Officers of various Ministries / Departments.

4.11. Meeting of the Chiefs of Public/Civil Service Commissions of SAARC Member States. At
the invitation of Government of Sri Lanka, 3rd meeting of the Chiefs of Public/Civil Service
th th
Commissions of SAARC Member States was held on 10 -12 January 2014 at Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Delegates from Member States participated in the meeting. Malik Asif Hayat Chairman FPSC
represented Pakistan in the meeting. As per previous practice, Prof. Dayasiri Fernando, Chairman
Public Service Commission Sri Lanka was elected as Chairperson of the Meeting. Malik Asif Hayat
Chairman FPSC (Pakistan) in his address greeted Chairman Public Service Commission of Sri Lanka
for hosting the 3rd Meeting and wished the Meeting success. Chief Guest of the occasion, Dr. Sarath
Amanugama, Senior Minister of International Monetary Cooperation and Deputy Minister of Finance
and Planning, in his address, emphasized the need to find out ways and means to get the best results of a
bureaucratic model of public servant to achieve the desired goals. The Meeting discussed
implementations/ recommendations of 2nd Meeting held at Islamabad and expressed their satisfaction.

5.23. Performance of Candidates Age Group wise: Table-23 indicates that 66 percent of allocated
candidates were in the age group of below 23 to 27 years. It dispels the notion that present age limit
discriminates against the educated professionals to participate in CSS Completive Examination. It also
substantiates Commission’s view point that performance of candidates falling in the age bracket of 21-
27 years is far superior that those who are above 27. For details, see Table 23 and Figure 6).

5.24. Performance of Candidates in Relation to their Schooling: Table-24 reveals that candidates
educated from Missionary School have performed better and captured 10% share in allocation as
compared to their appearance ratio of 1%. Similarly candidates educated from private schools have
captured 24% share in allocation as compared to their appearance ratio of 21%. Candidates hailing from
Provincial Government Schools could get 32% share in allocation as compared to their appearance ratio
of 44%. It clearly reflects that the performance of candidates having education from private and
Missionary institutions was superior as compared to Government institutions or Public/Model
institutions (For details, see Table 24, Figure 7A and 7B).
5.25. Candidates' Performance in Relation to their Final Degree: 48% of the candidates appeared
in CSS-2013 had first division while their ratio in final result was 74%. Their share in allocation
was77%. 45% of the appeared candidates were second division holders, while only 26% of them finally
qualified and their share in allocation was 23%. It indicates that the performance of first divisioners was
far superior to the candidates with second division holders. The figures given in Table-25 indicate that
out of the allocated candidates of CE-2013, 3% were M.Phil, 33% Master degree, 17% bachelor degree,
15% Engineers,13% Business studies, 9% Law Graduate, 7% Doctors, 1% held Commerce degree and
1% held Computer studies (For details, see Table 25 and Fig. 8).

A. Compulsory Subjects
Essay: Despite discouraging result, some candidates were found sincere and determined in their
performance, but for some candidates it appeared to be gigantic job. Questions generally were having
two dimensions i.e. intellectual and practical and mostly candidates provided unproductive work instead
of balance between intellectual and practical part of the questions perhaps due to their limited
knowledge. Their skills required graduated approach and error free piece of writing. Confusion in
cognitive abilities to handle a subject matter skillfully remained dominant in majority of the scripts.
English (Precise & Composition): The standard of performance of the examinees reflected that
majority did not know the strategies of making precise and reproduced the original language of the
passage while answering the questions. Most of the Candidates lacked the practice and knowledge of
how a comprehensive note is written and showed lack of cohesion, coherence and organizational
skills. Functional and communicative aspect of the majority of the candidates was badly neglected
and dealt as subject rather than language. To improve the situation English language teaching in
Pakistan may be made language oriented, syllabus at all levels be re-designed to cater the needs of
learners, training courses/workshops be organized for English language teachers on regular basis. A
screening test should be given to candidates to test their proficiency in English language for short
listing and to reduce the number of failures.
General Knowledge-I (Every day Science): Overall performance of the candidates was of a Low
Standard. About 10% of the candidates did not have even a faint idea about everyday science. Also
approximately half of the candidates did not secure even 30% marks.
General Knowledge-II (Current Affairs): Majority of the candidates lacked basic writing skills and
their scripts showed crammed knowledge. They also showed lack of analytical and reasoning skills.
Almost all the candidates’ showed lack of cosmopolitan and international outlook and they
demonstrated tunnel-vision approach to contemporary issues. A pre-test advanced English language
writing skills examination is proposed to shortlist the serious and capable candidates.
General Knowledge-III (Pakistan Affairs): Majority have attempted the paper without spirit of the
questionnaires as “History is a continuous process of past, present and future”. Students were unable
to analyze the impact of historical process on modern sub-continent with special reference to
Pakistan. Very few candidates performed conceptual approach about any issue while understanding
of history, critical analysis, communication in English and repetition of ideas were the problems of
majority. Reading habit, writing practice, aptitude and hardworking were widely locked. Most of the
candidates consulted the sub- standard books guides for preparation and credible academic writings
were ignored. Only 5% candidates attempted seriously, 30% attempted vague and 65% were non-
serious.
Islamiat: Overall performance of the candidates was un-satisfactory and does not meet scholar’s level at
CSS stage. Majority attempted the questions in muddled way i.e. without paragraphing or headings,
without giving question numbers properly and even without any demarcation between answers of two
questions. Quranic versus and Ahadith quoted were mostly incorrect. However, some candidates have
performed very good fulfilling the technical standard of CSS examination.
B. Optional Subjects
Accountancy & Auditing-I: Majority of the candidates seemed to have attempted questions in a casual
way. They ought to work hard to get good grades.
Accountancy & Auditing-II: Majority of candidates have lacked knowledge of the subject. Also it is
observed that majority attempted the theoretical portion and not the practical.
Agriculture: The overall performance of the candidates fell in different categories i.e. Excellent 4%,
Very Good 23%, Good 9%, Satisfactory 24% and remaining 50% unsatisfactory and bad answers. Lack
of common sense is generally observed in the scripts. Most of the candidates wrote many pages with
unwanted explanations. Minimum qualification for CSS examination may be enhanced from 14 years
education to 16 years education so that the candidates are mentally mature to answer the question in
sensible manner.
Applied Mathematics: Majority of the candidates have showen no understanding due to stress on
memorization rather than understanding the basis of the subject.
Arabic-I: Most of the candidates displayed good performance and showed keen interest in Arabic
Literature. Major defect found from the scripts is inappropriate writing in Arabic language.
Arabic-II: General Standard of performance of candidates is very good with excellent knowledge of the
subject. However, they should improve writing skills in Arabic language.
Botany-I: Overall performance of the candidates was unsatisfactory. Only few candidates have power
of utilizing their knowledge, having full grasp of the subject and originality of thoughts. Majority of the
scripts contained spelling mistakes of technical terms. Most of the candidates did not even know
whether Fungi and Algae are singular or plural. Only 7 to 8 scripts out of 117, are found good
attempted.
Botany-II: With few exceptions, overall knowledge of the candidates was superficial. For thought-
provoking question, generally they were unable to answer. General standard in writing English
comprehension was below average. Both grammatical and spelling errors were common.
British History-I: A sizeable majority of the candidates could not express ideas lucidly because of their
weakness in English Language. Such candidates appear in the Competitive Examination just to try their
luck. Out of total 381 candidates, only 07 got more than 75% marks while 67 failed to get even more
than 40%.
British History-II: Overall performance of the candidates was not very encouraging. Out of 381
candidates only 66 got more than 60%, whereas 60 candidates got less than 33%. Major weakness
observed was poor expression in English. Candidates have the knowledge but could not accurately
express themselves while answering the questions.
Business Administration: It transpired after going through the scripts that there was marked similarity
in the answers of the candidates. It indicates that candidates have generally used sources of guide books
or some notes for preparation of the subject. Understanding of the concepts were shallow, therefore
there was little discussion in the answers. Overall performance of candidates showed low caliber and
lack of seriousness.
Chemistry-I: Most of the candidates obtained less than 50% marks so overall performance cannot be
categorized as Satisfactory. Lack of comprehensive grip on the subject was mainly observed.
Chemistry-II: General performance of the candidates was average. Most of the candidates refrained to
solve simple chemical kinetics question involving mathematics of 9th class level. A large number of
candidates had no concept of the subject. No extra ordinary candidate was found because maximum
marks obtained by the candidate was 68 only.
Computer Science: Overall performance of the candidates was unsatisfactory. Most of the candidates
were not clear or aware of the basic concepts. Bluff writing was common among incompetent
candidates, which were strongly regretted while marking.
Constitutional Law: Ninety percent (90%) of the candidates miserably failed to understand the nature
of questions. Majority seemed deliberately prepared for fabricated answers whether they have the
required knowledge or not.
Economics-I: Generally performance of majority of the candidates was not satisfactory because they
did not prepare themselves for this examination. Most of them have weak concepts about various
economic terms and provided un-necessary and irrelevant explanations. A large number of candidates
were unable to express themselves due to having weak knowledge about economic theories.
Economics-II: Overall performance of the candidates was quite satisfactory. However, there seemed to
be a general problem across the board in terms of things like analytical abilities, critical approach
towards answering their questions.
English Literature-I: Generally an answer of the candidates reflected that they did not have command
over English language. Frequently repeated errors of tenses, misuse of continuous speech, use of
definite article before proper nouns etc. were common. They failed to prove their arguments by referring
to the literary works. Inabilities to comprehend the questions also lead the candidates to produce
irrelevant answers.
English Literature-II: Candidates mainly showed their lack of understanding of the questions. They
often presented a number of arguments which were not supported by relevant and concrete evidence.
Forestry: Deficiency on indepth knowledge in most candidates was observed. However, overall
performance was Satisfactory
Geology-I: Performance of the candidates who have studied geology at graduation program was
satisfactory and received good marks. On the other hand, candidates who were not pre-familiar with the
subject had poor knowledge and got less mark.
History of Pakistan & India: The knowledge, expression and performance of 70% candidates were
very poor and disappointing. They failed to understand the questions. Concepts of the candidates about
the subject were not clear and hence their answers did not meet the demands of the questions.
History of USA: Overall candidates attempted the paper well. It appeared that majority of the
candidates have taken classes at an Academy.
International Law: Some of the answers were of a very good standard having a clear approach, both
critical and analytical. Overall performance was not so good.
International Relation: Except a few candidates, the result has not been very good. Common mistakes
noted in the answer sheets relating to conceptual problems, grammatical mistakes, syntax and sentence
errors. Besides the candidates generally answered the questions without going into specific details. In
80% cases, the candidates were not analytical.
Islamic History & Culture-I: Candidates generally lacked in conceptual and objective approach. Most
of the candidates lacked seriousness towards the study which was evident from their answers.
Candidates had relied upon the pre-written notes and helping guides who provide cramming approach
rather than building the concepts and analytical skills.
Islamic History & Culture-II: Most of the candidates did not know how to write good and correct
English. Most of them depended upon cheap guides and notes which were not sufficient to get good
marks. Moreover, there was no creativity to produce a good answer.
Journalism: Performance of majority of the candidates was poor. Without understanding questions,
they jolted down whatever they knew about the topic, even not caring about the relevancy to the
question. Majority of the candidates only focused on writing maximum number of pages/sheets, not on
the relevancy, concepts and standard of the answers.
Law-I: Performance of majority of the candidates was satisfactory. Specifically due to their weak and
poor knowledge they were unable to clarify the concepts. There was dire need to make proper
arrangements to improve their language before entering into Competitive Examination.
Law-II: Most of the candidates failed to give satisfactory answers having some plausibility not to speak
of good or very good answers. None of the candidates was having a feather in his cap.
Mercantile Law: Overall performance of the candidates was not found satisfactory. Besides other
reasons, one was mixture of Corporate Law and Mercantile Law. In practice, Corporate Law is entirely
different from Mercantile Law.
Persian: For most of the candidates translation of English or Urdu paragraph in Persian seemed to be
weakest front. About 50% candidates having low level comprehension skill had written bad or
unsatisfactory answers. Overall 97% of the candidates had attempted required answers in Urdu/Persian
and remaining in English/Persian. English medium candidates were mostly weak in Persian writing.
Philosophy-I: Quality of answers was generally of average level. Main weakness identified has been
the general inability to apply knowledge in answering questions. Most of the candidates showed lack of
reading authentic books.
Philosophy-II: Out of 72 candidates only 24 got 40% or more marks which reflect poor performance of
the candidates. Some candidates attempted in very bad handwriting which was not legible.
Political Science I: Standard of answers was low rather equal to Matric standard. Writing was pathetic
and concept of question was not clear. Grammar of sentences was poor and some candidates attempted
only one or two questions only.
Political Science II: The candidates lacked knowledge and they appeared without any preparation of
the subject. Candidates did not answer the question but tried to reproduce whatever they know.
Public Administration: Uncooked presentation with superficial knowledge and poor presentation
based on illogical arguments with wrong or irrelevant data were the major deficiencies of the candidates.
Majority of the candidates failed to attempt general questions properly. They either could not understand
or had limited knowledge of the topic.
Punjabi: Overall ignorance of literary technicalities, fondness for preaching and sheer nonsense were
major faults found in the scripts of Punjabi language.
Pure Mathematics: Majority of the candidates were not prepared well for CSS examination.
Pushto: A fair number of candidates were found excellent. Majority of the candidates had deficiency in
translation from English into Pushto. Overall intellectual level of the candidates was good and
satisfactory.
Sociology: Over all performance of the candidates was not satisfactory although preparation of few
candidates was commendable. It seemed that candidates run after guides etc or to shortcuts available in
the markets/Academies.
Statistics: Candidates in the subject were better. Expressions for the theoretical answers were just
satisfactory but mathematically good. Overall 77 candidates got more than 60% marks out of 221.
Urdu: Out of 462 candidates, 346 (75%) qualified in the paper and 16 (25%) were failed. Majority of
the candidates only secured upto 50% marks that reflect ignorance towards our National Language.
Even majority did not know about the books of our National poet. Crammed knowledge, substandard
material, non relevant books and grammatical errors were common deficiencies reflected
Zoology: General standard of answers was not good, demonstrating the low quality of answers. Out of
312 candidates, only two candidates got more than 65% marks.
CHAPTER 6
Recruitment Process
6.1. There is growing perception amongst Ministries/Divisions/Departments furnishing
requisitions for recruitment and the candidates appearing in various Tests /Examination as well as
prospective candidates that the Staff of the Federal Public Service Commission is taking too long in
processing the cases and necessary paper work before the Commission conducts interviews and viva
voce. Some Sections of the office are still averse to change and automation. The process of selection
through General Recruitment is reflected at Figure 13.
6.2. This lengthy and long-drawn was breeding frustration amongst requisitioning
Ministries/Organizations, dis-satisfaction, muted discontentment about FPSC, pushing better
candidates to look for other jobs in the private sector and encouraging requisitioning Ministries to
explore alternative means for recruitment. The whole process becomes self-defeating because of
large number of non-joiners nominees and by the time the requisitioning Ministry asked for alternate
nomination, the validity of the merit list expired. In the process, the Government loses better
candidates.
6.3. To address these issues, the Commission has taken policy decisions to substantially improve
the General Recruitment system. These include: (i) Online Application has been redesigned adding
more filters to reduce the volume of applications; (ii) facility of upload essential documents; (iii) all
those cases where number of applications is less than 10 may be processed by interview only; (iv)
processing Representations and Review Petitions concurrently with interviews rather commencing
interviews after the whole process finishes; (v) T & S Section to ensure that all required documents
are indicated in the very first letter addressed to the candidates rather than repeating reminders; (vi)
where Candidates fail to submit the required documents within stipulated period after the First Letter
may be rejected and informed accordingly; (vii) Screening Test/Descriptive Tests must be held
simultaneously on rolling basis or after every two months; (viii) Members’ Committees may be
associated at the stage of Pre-selection of Cases or as soon as the Test is held rather than only
Interviews. It will ensure effective shared supervision of the process, remove snags and fast track
selection process; and (ix) Secrecy Wing, because of its work load, must be re-structured and
manned with additional staff to fast track the results.
Online Applications
6.4. Going forward, the Commission must review quality of its manpower and prepare an action
plan for developing a healthy mix of professional staff while safeguarding the integrity of the system.
Any meddling into the system with clandestine motives will not only compromise integrity of the
system but will also expose credibility of the Commission. Therefore, the Commission must
safeguard its credibility sternly against such efforts, both from within and without.
6.5. The Commission processed 370 cases of recruitment involving 3260 positions and 351,910
applications during the year 2014. These included 143 carried forward cases involving 1055 positions of
previous years. Fresh 2205 posts in 227 cases were advertised in 2014 and in response thereof 256,513

6.11. Cases Initiated in Previous Years for Recruitment but Finalized During 2014: A substantial
number of cases initiated in 2013 for recruitment but finalized in 2014 because of time allowed for
submission of applications and time taken in scrutiny of these applications, issuance of admission
certificates, marking of answer sheets, disposal of representations, appeals and conduct of interviews.
During 2014, 143 recruitment cases involving 1055 positions relating to previous years (2006-2013)
were processed as detailed in Appendix-16.

join their posts for one reason or the other. The Commission, on receipt of request from concerned
Ministries/Divisions/Departments, recommended 87 alternate nominees in 31 recruitment cases. Details
are given at Appendix-18.
6.15. Delay in Issue of Appointments to Nominated Candidates: The Federal Government has laid
down specific instructions that after receipt of recommendations from the Commission, the offer of
appointment to the Commission’s nominees should be issued within one month. However, these
instructions sometime are not complied with by the sponsoring Ministries/Divisions/Departments,
without sound justification. During the year 2014, various Ministries/Divisions/Departments delayed the
issuance of offer of appointment to the selected candidates in 18 cases. A list of such cases is given at
Appendix-19.
6.16. Recruitment Cases Withdrawn/Cancelled: As per policy decision, requisition for recruitment

CHAPTER 7
7.1. Final Passing Out Examination (FPOE) is a key examination which is conducted by the
Commission after completion of Common Training Program and Specialized Training Programme
(STP) of the Probationers of respective Services and Occupational Groups. This examination is of
considerable importance as inter-se seniority of the Probationers in each Occupational Group and
Service is determined on the basis of marks obtained in the Competitive Examination, Initial
Training, Specialized Training and FPOE. Currently, the rules provide three attempts to qualify the
FPOE failing which the Probationer is liable to be discharged from Group/Service. The FPOEs
conducted by the Commission during 2014 are reflected in Table 34.
7.2. 41% failure rate in FPOE is too high. The highest failure rate was observed amongst
Commerce and Trade Group, Inland Revenue Service, Pakistan Administrative Service, Pakistan
Audit and Accounts Service and Railways Group. It is not only a reflection on the quality of faulty
imparting training and quality of training modules failing to sustain interest but also casual attitude
of the Probationers towards their training and learning. The high failure ratio in PAS as well as IRS
is alarming and respective Academies imparting specialized training must take cognizance of this.
7.3. The assessment data of the Probationers retrieved from the Civil Service Academy
demonstrates that most of them do not take the training very seriously because of pre-allocation of
Occupational Groups and Services. Many of those Probationers who ranked in the top 50 positions in
the Competitive Examination slipped to lower positions while some of them ranking in lower
position improved their ranking in the Academy. The Government may consider the following
options to sustain interest of the Probationers in training and improve quality of training:
7.4. Likewise, the Probationers generally demonstrate slackness towards FPOE as the rules allow
them three attempts to clear the FPOE. It inculcates a sense of casualness and lack of spirit of
competitiveness at the beginning of their career. The Government has already been advised by the
Commission to amend the Occupational Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority)
Rules, 1990, to reduce the number of attempts to two, as was originally envisaged. The Commission
is also reviewing the setting of papers for the FPOE particularly those, which are with open books.
Such papers need to be more analytical and practical oriented like case studies.
7.5. It was for these reasons that the Commission strongly suggested to the Establishment
Division to constitute a Committee including the Commission to review the entire system of training
at various levels as well as the faculty and make recommendations for aligning the training modules
to challenges of 21st Century and developing skills required to coup up with these challenges. The
training methodology and techniques also require comprehensive review and realignment.
Nevertheless, both the NSPP and the Establishment Division are reluctant to do so.
7.6. No promotional examination was held in 2014 as no requisition was received from the
Establishment Division in this regard.
CHAPTER 8
Psychological Assessment
8.1. Psychological Assessment Wing is lynchpin of the whole examination system for the
Competitive Examination as well as induction of officers of armed forces into the civil service and
now Section Officers Promotion Examination. It assesses the personality traits, intellectual capability
and future potential of candidates qualifying the CSS written examination. The assessment is carried
out through Verbal General Ability Test, Non-verbal Test of abstract reasoning, personality tests
including projective techniques such as completion, association and construction, open-ended
leaderless discussions, problem solving exercises and interview with psychologist.
8.2. Statistical Analysis: Data analysis for drawing the inferences from the results of various
tests and modes of assessment was carried out during the year, the details are as under:
(a) Two statements showing 238 candidate’s Roll numbers, domicile, centre, scores
obtained in different tests, Psychological, written, viva-voce marks and allocated
groups were prepared and completed.
(b) To see the relationship of three modes of Assessment i.e. Psychological, Written and
Viva Voce, nine correlation co-efficient were computed on the data of 238 candidates
who appeared for Psychological Assessment CE-2013. Positive correlation was found
among these three modes of assessment.
(c) Inter correlation co-efficient were also computed between three ability tests and
different modes of Assessment i.e. Written, Psychological and Viva-Voce to ensure
their utility as significant component of a battery in future.
(d) Norms of three ability tests and one personality test were developed and updated on
the basis of data of 238 candidates.
(e) Six “two way tables” of three ability tests and between Psychological Marks vs Viva
Voce, written vs Viva Voce, written versus merit order were computed.
(f) Three expectancy tables were computed and constructed for determining the position
and fall of the candidates.
(g) Content analysis of personality tests.
8.3. Research Studies: The Psychological Assessment Wing carried out the following research
studies:
(a) Content analysis of two projective tests used in CE-2013, was carried out to see the
usefulness of the test.
(b) A follow up study of CSS candidates of 40th CTP (common training programme CE
2011) was conducted to see the performance of top 10% (high merit) and bottom 10%
(low merit), as per FPSC merit order during CTP and 06 problematic cases identified
by Civil Services Academy were studied. Main areas related to their issues were
disciplinary issues and non-serious attitude towards training.
(c) A study titled “Association between awards of the Commission and Psychological
Assessment of CE 2013 was conducted and submitted to Members of Viva-Voce
Board.
8.4. Selection of Test Battery: In order to select Test Battery, Psychological tests and their
related materials were studied. Different tests were identified. Revision and final selection were
made on the basis of research data of various personality (seven in total) and ability tests.
(i) In the light of research findings, 8 personality tests were constructed for use in
Psychological Assessment CE 2014.
(ii) Twelve Situational tests (problems) were also prepared for future use.
8.7. Liaison: During the period APA (American Psychological Associations) was actively
contacted through E-mail for Annual International membership and subscription of journals. Letter
sent to NSPP to get information from CSA about CTP probationers (high and low scorers at FPSC)
for follow up purposes but CSA was reluctant to share the data on the instructions of Establishment
Division.
8.8. Preparation and Conduct of Psychological Assessment of Armed Forces Officer (Local)
Balochistan CE 2014. This year, as a special case, the Psychological Assessment of AFO (Armed
Forces Officers) of (Local) Balochistan was conducted. Psychological Assessment of 29 nominees of
AFO (Local) Balochistan comprising the candidates from Army, Navy and Air Force was carried out
from 07.06.2014 to 17.06.2014 and Psychological Reports were submitted to Members Viva -Voce
Board.

IV were provided to facilitation centre and control room established at FPSC HQs.
9.9. Written Descriptive Tests: As per revised recruitment policy, Written Descriptive Tests
were introduced first time for the General Recruitment cases. Accordingly, a new software module to
cover the requirement of Descriptive Tests was developed by the IT Wing.
9.10. Inter Public Service Commission Seminar on ICT Initiatives: In compliance to the
decision taken in the 15th Inter Public Service Commission’s meeting. IT Wing of FPSC organized a
workshop/seminar at FPSC Headquarters Islamabad on 26.05.2014. Technical officers of various
Provincial Public Service Commissions’ attended the seminar. The seminar focused on Information
Communication Technology (ICT) initiatives taken by various Public Service Commissions and the
way forward for further enhancements in (ICT) use through collaborative efforts and sharing of best
practices.
9.12. Digitization of Historic C.E Data: IT Wing had been maintaining historic data base of
Competitive Examination (C.E) held since 1984. On the direction of the Chairman FPSC, the
database has further been enriched with C.E data prior to 1984. Accordingly, the information relatin g
to C.E allocated candidates for the period 1970 to 1983 was digitized from manual registers
maintained by Secrecy/C.E Wing. The same been made a part of database.
9.13. Website Management: Official website of the Commission (www.fpsc.gov.pk) has been an
important source of information dissemination to the public in general and candidates in particular.
The website has been among few Government portals having average traffic of around 25,000 hits
per day. All major events, advertisements, syllabi, pre-selection, recommendations, publications of
FPSC etc. were uploaded well in time on the website.
CHAPTER 10
10.1. Designing Schemes of Tests and Syllabi: Curriculum and Research (C&R) Wing of the
Commission has been assigned the task of designing schemes of tests and syllabi for all posts
advertised by the Commission in Basic Scale 16 and above. In this context, schemes of tests and
syllabi were designed for 226 cases of recruitment comprising 2204 posts during the year 2014.
10.2. Reforming CSS Competitive Examiantion and Syllabi: The Commission re-constituted
the Committee Notification No.54/2014 dated 25.11.2014 to finalize the Scheme of CSS
Competitive Examination and its syllabi comprising as under:-
The Committee held a meeting on 4.12.2014 in Conference Room of FPSC and discussed in detail

and tendered to the Commission by the Curriculum and Research Wing of the Commission. During
2014, 86 cases were finalized in consultation with the Higher Education Commission and Pakistan
Engineering Council.
CHAPTER 11
11.1. Section 9 of the FPSC’s Ordinance, 1977 requires the Commission to set out in the annual
report, so far as known to it:
(a) The cases, if any, in which advice of the Commission was not accepted and reasons
thereof; and
(b) The matters, if any, on which the Commission ought to have been consulted but was not
consulted, and reasons thereof;
11.2. In discharge of its statutory responsibilities, the FPSC continued to advise Ministries/
Divisions/Departments on services related matters. During the previous years, there were some cases
where advice of the Commission was not accepted or where the Commission ought to have been
consulted but was not consulted. Such actions of the Ministries/Divisions/Departments tend to
compromise the process of fair selection and undermine effectiveness of Commission. The glaring
examples of this violation includes: (a) mass scale regularization of contract employees in BS-16 and
above; and (b) extension of contract against posts falling within the purview of the Commission
beyond two years.
11.3. Cases Where Delay occurred in Implementing Advice of the Commission: The Federal
Government has laid down specific instructions that after receipt of recommendations from the
Commission, the offers of appointment to the Commission’s nominees should be issued within one
month. However, these instructions are, some time, not complied with and the sponsoring
Ministries/Divisions/Departments violate these orders without sound justification. During the year
2014, various Ministries/Divisions/Departments delayed the issuance of offer of appointment to the
selected candidates in 18 cases. List of such cases is given at Appendix-19.
CHAPTER 12
12.3. The fundamental responsibility of the Commission is to hold Competitive Examination for
recruitment to All-Pakistan Services and Civil Services of the Federation as well as Selection by
Direct (General) Recruitment for the civil posts in connection with the affairs of the Federation in
BS-16 and above. Its operational budget is meant to hold these examinations throughout the year.
However, this budget is generally subject to austerity cut of 20 to 30% by the Finance Division
which is impeding in discharging the statutory function. Strenuous efforts were made to make the
Ministry understand this; nevertheless this Constitutional Institutions was restrained financially
during FY2013-14. It restraints the Commission from advertising the posts, inviting applications and
holding tests and examinations of the potential candidates which not only adds to unemployment but
also frustrates the fresh graduates. Unfortunately, those managing finances at the bureaucratic leve l
have myopic and tunnel vision and have difficulty looking at the macro picture. It is for these
reasons, the Commission has very strongly proposed in the Draft Bill for amendment in the FPSC
Ordinance that the expenditure of the Commission be declared as “Charged Expenditure” rather than
“Voted Expenditure”.
12.4. Receipts of the Commission: Total receipts on account of fee deposited by candidates for
Competitive Examinations and General Recruitment for posts in BS-16 and above during FY2014-15
were Rs.94.42 million against the budgetary target of Rs.70 million.
12.5. Expenditures: Total expenditures incurred during FY2013-14 were Rs. 496.388 million, as
detailed at Table 36.
12.7. Training and Development of FPSC Staff: Human resource plays a pivotal role in
achieving the organizational objectives. Keeping in view the paramount importance of the human
capital, the FPSC is committed to enhance knowledge, upgrade skills and reform the attitudes of its
employees. During 2014, 18 officer/officials participated in short training courses organized by
Project Management Institute, Secretariat Training Institute, Pakistan Planning Management
Institute, MS Wing of Establishment Division.
Merit-based Selection” on 2-5 August 2014 at New Delhi. Mr. Abdul Wajid Rana (Member) and
Mr. Ramiz Ahmad (Director) represented FPSC from Pakistan in the workshop. Similarly, another
workshop on “Functional Modalities of Public Service Commission in SAARC” was organized by
Civil Service Commission, Nepal at Kathmandu on 27-29 August 2014. Mr. Mazhar Ali Khan,
(Secretary) and Mian Muhammad Sarwar, (DG Research), represented FPSC from Pakistan in the
workshop.
12.9. Construction of Examination Halls at FPSC Provincial Offices The construction work of
two examination halls and renovation/up-gradation of FPSC office building at FPSC provincial
office Karachi was completed. PCs-1 for construction of additional Examination Halls at FPSC
Provincial offices Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta were in progress with DDWP, till end of the year.
12.11. FPSC Library: The Commission provides the facility of library to its Members and the staff
with sufficient stock of reference books in all areas of study and newspapers. Online implementation
of library system is under active processing stage. Besides, FPSC provides maximum information to
intending candidates as well as general public through Provincial, Regional Offices, of the
Commission which provides application forms, syllabi and informative material on recruitment
system of FPSC to the intending candidates. All advertisements released by the Commission are
made known to facilitate students and prospective candidates.
12.12. FPSC Publications: As required under Section 9 of the FPSC Ordinance 1977, Annual
Report of the Commission for the year 2013 was prepared and submitted to the President’s
Secretariat (Public) on 25.7.2014. After consent of President of Pakistan, 480 copies of the said
Annual Report were placed before the Parliament. Annual Report was also distributed to all
Ministries, Divisions and Departments. Similarly, four FPSC’s quarterly Newsletters were also
published during the year under report and distributed to all Ministries/Divisions/Departments and
Public Sector Universities.
Acknowledgment
The Commission would like to place on record their sincere thanks to the
Ministries/Divisions/Departments, Universities and other Institutions for their valuable help and
cooperation rendered by them, but for which it would not have been possible to discharge their
Constitutional and Statutory functions.
The Commission also expresses their deep appreciation of the dedication and hard work by
the officers and other members of their staff.

Heard the representationist Mr. Masud Humayun s/o Muhammad Humayun on July 11, 2014
in FPSC HQ, Islamabad.
3. Mr. Masud Humayun in his representation dated 10th June, 2014 has raised the following
points:
(a) allocation of one PSP seat from Sindh (Urban) for Minorities is not justifiable as the
Minorities share was introduced from CE-2010 and therefore, accrual of Sindh
(Urban) quota for Minorities as of 2013 do not justify allocation of one seat of PSP.
(b) PSP seat allocated to Minorities quota must be allocated to Open Merit for Sindh
(Urban) and he should be adjusted in PSP on basis of his merit in Sindh (Urban).
4. Be that as it may, before determining the tenability of these points, it is important to reiterate
the legal position relating to the Provincial/Regional Quota for Recruitment to the Civil Posts
through Central Superior Services (Competitive Examination) under the Federal Government.
Legal Provisions
9. Working Out Sindh Urban and Sindh Rural Quota: The Establishment Division issued
Office Memorandum No.4/5/87-R-2 dated 12th August, 1991 brought clarity in calculating the quota
for Sindh and its sub-division amongst Urban and Rural areas by saying “Sindh is to be allowed
quota of 19% first and then the posts falling to its share should be sub-divided between Sindh
(Urban) and Sindh (Rural) in the ratio of 7.6% and 11.4% respectively.”
10. The Establishment Division brought further clarity vide its Office Memorandum No. 8/15/73-
TRV dated 28th November, 1973 that “posts in the Ministry/Division should be allocated separately
from posts in Attached Departments and Subordinate Offices. In other words, the allocation should
be made separately for each department, office or institution.” It is inferred from this stipulation that
Provincial/Regional and category-wise quota within Provincial/Regional quota has to be worked out
separately for each Occupational Group and Service as these are controlled by different Ministries.
11. From the legal provisions enumerated at para 5 to 10, the following framework flows for
determining the vacancies for the provinces/regions and for each category (open merit, women and
Minorities) within the province/region in each Occupational Groups and Services and only then the
successful candidates are allocated against this quota in accordance with their merit and preferences:
(a) Women Quota and Minorities Quota are part of the overall quota of a Province/Region.
(b) Provincial/Regional quota (Open Merit), Women quota and Minorities quota within the
Provincial/Regional quota is applicable on fresh vacancies meant for direct recruitment.
(c) Provincial/regional quotas in respect of posts in a particular year to be worked out as per policy
laid down by Establishment Division vide OM No.8/9/72-TRV, dated 31.08.1973, amended
in 2007, read with OM No.9/7/80-A III, dated 23.09.1980 (Overall Quota in each
Occupational Group and Service).
(d) The allocation of vacancies and the balance to be carried forward is based on the principle
that a province/region, having larger fraction in accordance with the prescribed quotas, is
allocated the vacant post for recruitment whereas the province/region not allocated the post
due to smaller fraction, gets those fractions carried forward and added to its share in the
subsequent year.
(e) Within the Provincial/Regional quota, share is worked out for each category (Open Merit,
Women and Minorities as worked out below) in each Occupational Group and Service.
Therefore, it is important that a post must accrue to the Province/Region first in a particular
category for each Occupational Group and Service:
-Open Merit within Province and Within Occupational Group and Service 85%
-Women Quota 10%
-Minorities Quota 05%
(f) To the share so worked out for a Province/Region is added or adjusted the last year’s carried
forward balance to respective category for each Occupational Group and Service which
provides total number of vacancies enabling the decision relating to vacancies to be allocated
in that particular year and balance to be carried forward.
(e) In case of Sindh, the vacancies accrued to the province in each of the Occupational Group
and Services are distributed amongst each of the categories indicated at (e) above and then
are sub-divided between Sindh (Urban) and Sindh (Rural).
(f) Since the principle of carry forward/adjustment is involved, the share cannot be worked out at
any arbitrary point in time, say 2006 as the representationist has calculated, but previous year
balance (being worked out since enforcement of quota) has to be added or adjusted to each
category for each Occupational Group and Service. [The Office is maintaining this account
since the enforcement of quota to avoid any injustice or litigation].
12. The table below reflects the sub-division of the seats allocated to Provinces of Sindh for
Police Service of Pakistan for CE-2013 amongst Sindh (Urban) and Sindh (Rural) Based on the
framework reflected at para 11 above:

Overall 7.6% 1.368 0.048 1.416 2 -0.584

Minorities 0.38% 0.068 0.186 0..255 1 -0.745
* Fraction 0.479 was the largest amongst all Provinces/Regions for CE-2013 and hence allocated a
whole vacancy.
13. It is quite evident from the above Table that since Sindh Province has the largest fraction
amongst all Provinces/Regions for the PSP, hence a vacant post has been allocated to Sindh quota as
per OM No.9/7/80-A III, dated 23.09.1980. On the similar principle, out of 4 posts allocated to Sindh
Province in PSP, 3 vacancies have been allocated to Open Merit and 1 vacancy to Minorities because
of large fraction. Within the Province of Sindh, overall share of Sindh (Rural) and Sindh (Urban)
worked out to be 2.064 and 1.416. Accordingly, both were allocated 2 vacancies each again on the
principle of larger fraction. Likewise, on the same principle, 2 vacancies accrued to Sindh (Rural)
have been allocated to the category of Open Merit. In case of Sindh (Urban), the share of Open Merit
worked out to be 0.877 and therefore, could not be allocated more than one vacancy as the
representationist has contended. On the same analogy, the other seat accruing to Sindh (Urban) has
been allocated to Minorities as no vacancy could be allocated to Women because of its lower fraction
within overall quota of Sindh. Therefore, the contention of the representationist that “allocation of
one vacancy of PSP to Minorities is not justifiable and should be allocated to the open merit within
Federal Public Service Commission 104
Annual Report 2014
Sindh (Urban)” is not tenable and is in violation of Establishment Division vide OM No.8/9/72-TRV,
dated 31.08.1973, amended in 2007, read with OM No.9/7/80-A III, dated 23.09.1980, which have
attained the finality and is now the settled law for working out the quota of each province/region for
each category in each Occupational Group and Service.
14. Secondly, the year-wise working reflected in the Table given in the representation does not
factor in the last year’s carried forward balance for each category nor does it follow the principle of
accruing the vacancy to each category within overall share of the Sindh Province as elucidated above
and ,therefore, cannot be trusted.
15. For the reasons recorded above, we conclude that the contention of the representationist Mr.
Masud Humayun is in conflict with the settled law for allocation of quota to each category and in
each Occupational Group and Services within a Province and its sub-division between Sindh (Urban)
and Sindh (Rural), hence the representation is rejected.

11.7.2014
Mr. Masud Humayun S/o Muhammad Humayun Farshori, a candidate appearing in the
Competitive Examiantion-2013 under Roll No. 5451 and allocated to Inland Revenue Service (IRS)
against Sindh (Urban) Merit Quota, on the basis of Pakistan Merit rank of 142, by the Federal Public
Service Commission (FPSC), has submitted an application received in the FPSC on June 10, 2015
attaching therewith a copy of the Writ Petition No. 1654/2015 filed in the Hon’ble Islamabad High
Court along with the order passed thereon.
2. The order passed by the Hon’ble Islamabad High Court on June 1, 2015 on Writ Petition No.
1654/2015, hereinafter referred to as the Petition, is reproduced below:
“In view of submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, respondents
are directed to decide the representation of the petitioner within a period of 15 days
after affording him an opportunity of personal hearing. With the above directions, the
instant petition is disposed of.”
3. The applicant Mr. Masud Humayun was afforded personal hearing by the Commission on the
directions of the Hon’ble Islamabad High Court on June 22, 2015 to present his view point
comprehensively. He essentially raised points mentioned in the Writ Petition.
4. It is important to recapitulate here that the applicant has already availed the opportunity
available to him under Clause (a) of sub-section (3) of Section 7 of the Federal Public Service
Commission, Ordinance, 1977, against his allocation to IRS decided by the Commission on
11.07.2014 rejecting his representation as his contentions to allocate a PSP seat to Sindh (U) Merit
quota instead of Minority were not legally tenable. He has also consumed the opportunity available
to him under Clause (b) of sub-section (3) of Section 7 of the Ordinance by filing a Review Petition
against rejection of representation which was decided by the Commission on 21.08.2014 rejecting
the Review Petition as he failed to advance any fresh ground or raise any tenable law point. Later on
the applicant has challenged the same in Islamabad High Court, Islamabad vide FAO No. 69 of 2014
which is pending for adjudication.
5. It may also be added here that the FPSC received applications from Mr. Masud Humayun
requesting to expedite the decision on the reference received from the Establishment Division. Since
it was an official reference from the Establishment Division without mentioning name of the
applicant specifically and the case was under process with the Establishment Division and the
Ministry of Law and Justice on law points, he was not responded as he was not a party in that official
reference.
6. The main points raised by the applicant in the Petition, which he reiterated during the
personal hearing on June 22, 2015, include:
(a) The Establishment Division intimated to the FPSC on October 30, 2014 that an additional
seat of Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) for Sindh (U) merit quota which was vacated by one
Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi and according to rules, the seat is supposed to be nominated to the
next available candidate on Sindh Urban Merit list CE-2013, which the applicant assumed
that it would be allocated to him;
(b) The decision on the case has been delayed for almost seven months whereas the other case
mentioned by the Establishment Division in the same letter has been decided long ago;
(c) The FPSC has not replied to the Establishment Division for the past a three-and-half month
even after clarification from the Establishment and Law Divisions and the interest of the
petitioner is being jeopardized and he is becoming a victim of the procedural delays;
(d) That the Respondent No.1 (FPSC) has challenged the advice of the Respondent No.2
(Establishment Division). The Law Division has also advised the FPSC that it only deals with
statutory law and the issues of appointment and seniority concerns with Establishment
Division; and
(e) The act of the respondents is discriminatory and a violation of the fundamental rights as Mr.
Ghulam Hussain Yasir (Punjab) from CE-2013 having Pakistan merit number 108 has been
re-allocated from Pakistan Audit and Accounts Service (PAAS) to Inland Revenue Service
even though the intimation of re-allocation was sent by the Establishment Division to the
FPSC on the same date and in the same official communication as Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi’s
vacated seat.
7. Before deliberating on the main points at Para 6 (a) and (e), it seems appropriate to deal with
the points raised at Para 6 (b), (c) and (d) upfront. The discussion infra from Paras 8 to 15 will
reflect very vividly that there was no delay on the part of the FPSC in this matter and the case has
been settled in accordance with the law and rules.
8. The FPSC conducted the CSS Competitive Examination (CE)-2013. The critical sets of dates
are as follow:
9. The fresh vacancies received from the Establishment Division for each Occupational Group
and Services are distributed amongst Quota for General Merit as well as Provinces/Regions, Women
and Minorities in accordance with the Policy of the Government and are added to carried forward
vacancies under each of the categories of quota for each Occupational Group and Services by the
FPSC before advertising/giving Public Notice/announcement and allocation thereafter. The share of
various categories is very meticulously calculated and maintained in a transparent manner. The
rational for advertising the vacancies and announcing the result immediately threafter is to prevent
any manipulation by the successful candidates to arrange an additional vacancy, in any Occupational
Group or Service for which they may be aspirant of, through the Establishment Division.
10. The Establishment Division, more than five months after the advertisement of vacancies for
CE-2013 and completion of the entire process of allocating Occupational Groups and Services to
successful candidates of CE-2013 on the basis of merit-cum-quota and matching preference of the
successful candidates by the FPSC, wrote a letter No. 1/9/2014-T-V (Part) dated October 30, 2014,
informing the FPSC that one Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi, a candidate of CSS CE-2009 and allocated to
Police Service of Pakistan under Sindh (Urban) quota has withdrawn his acceptance to join PSP
(more than four years after allocation) and requested FPSC to “take further action as per policy in
vogue.” The Establishment Division in his letter neither asked for allocation of this additional PSP
seat to the applicant nor sought any reply from the FPSC.
11. Since the Case of Hamza Ali Abbassi involved many legal issues not related to the applicant,
the full Commission decided to seek clarifications from the Law Division through the Establishment
Division vide U.O. No. F./2/4/2014-CE dated 24.11.2014. The Establishment Division instead of
referring these issues to the Law Division replied vide letter No. 2/26/2014-T-V dated 22nd January,
2015, that “the Establishment Division is the custodian and sole authority for administration and
Federal Public Service Commission 107
Annual Report 2014
interpretation of the Civil Servant Act, 1973 and Rules made thereunder including Occupational
Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 as per Schedule-II under Rule
3(3) of Rules of Business, 1973, therefore, Law and Justice Division does not need to be consulted
on the matter.”
12. Not satisfied with response of the Establishment Division, pursuant to decision of the
Commission in its 153rd Meeting held on April 15, 2015, a Self-contained Note along with the
annotated statement reflecting views of the FPSC and the Establishment Division in this regard was
sent to the Law and Justice Division vide U.O. Note NO. F.2-4/2014-CE dated April 22, 2015, a
copy whereof was also forwarded to the Establishment as per procedural requirement, to seek Law
and Justice Division’s views on 10 legal questions under four categories of issues:
13. Instead of providing opinion on the legal questions raised in the self-contained note of the
Commission, the Law and Justice Division, recognizing difference of opinion between the
Establishment Division and the FPSC, preferred to make procedural observations which had already
been complied with by the Commission in its note on April 29, 2015. The Law and Justice Division
further opined that the case of seniority and appointments are the concern of the Establishment
Division whereas Hamza Ali Abbasi’s case involved many other issues including allocation of an
additional seat but seniority. The Law and Justice Division itself acknowledged that an Attached
Department (though an incongruity as the Commission derives its establishment from Article 242 of
the Constitution whereas the Establishment Division owes its birth to Rule 3 of the Rules of
Business) can make an U.O. reference directly to the Law and Justice Division under Para 44 of the
Secretariat Instructions framed under Rule 5 (15) of the Rules of Business. Yet, the main issues
raised in the self-contained note were never responded.
14. From the above discussions, it is evident that the Commission did not receive tenable legal
advice from the Establishment or the Law and Justice Division. The Commission has reservations
about the Establishment Division’s claim to be the sole authority to interpret the Civil Servant Act,
1973 and the Rules framed thereunder as Rule 14 of the Rules of Business, 1973, explicitly stipulates
that “the Law and Justice Division shall be consulted-(a) on all legal questions arising out of any
case; (b) on the interpretation of any law. The intention of law makers is quite vivid that the
interpretation of law and rules cannot be left to the mercy of an administrative Division. Therefore,
the Law and Justice Division should have been more forthcoming in offering its advice on the legal
issues raised by the Commission.
15. The Full Commission unanimously decided the case of additional PSP seat occurring due to
withdrawal of acceptance of offer after more than four years by Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi and over 5
months after the advertisement of vacancies for CE-2013 and allocation of Occupational Groups and
Services to the successful candidates of CE-2013 on 22.05.2014 which is elaborated infra. It is quite
evident from the above that there was no delay on the part of the FPSC but the time was consumed in
understanding the intricate legal issues involved for equity and justice.
16. We will now deal with the issue raised at Para 6 (a) which would require detailed
deliberations on the background of Hamza Ali Abbasi’s case and issues arising out of it which are
the bone of contention.
17. The details of Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi case are that he was selected on the basis of his overall
merit position (90) in CE-2009 and was allocated to Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) against Sindh
(U) quota. He was extended offer of appointment in the Government and he communicated the
acceptance of offer to the Establishment Division in writing. He was required to join 38 th Common
Training Program (CTP) at Civil Services Academy, Lahore, for initial training. However, Mr.
Hamza Ali Abbasi got deferment under proviso (ii) of sub-rule (1) of Rule 3 of the Occupational
Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules, 1990 framed under the Civil Servant
Act 1973 (LXXI of 1973), which reads as “provided further that the competent authority may allow
deferment of training for one year on the recommendations of the training institution or for any
cogent reason.”
18. After this, Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi got the mandatory training deferred continuously for
additional three years or from 38th Common Training Programme (CTP) to 41st CTP. He was due to
join training with 42nd CTP (the batch of successful candidates of 2013) commenced w.e.f.
7.11.2014, when Mr. Abbasi withdrew his letter of acceptance tendered in 2010. The Establishment
Division communicated this fact to the FPSC on October 30, 2014, hence the occurrence of
additional PSP seat according to the Establishment Division.
19. The Training Programmes and Examinations prescribed for Probationers under sub-rule (1)
of Rule 3 of the Occupational Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990
are Conditions Subsequent and not Conditions Precedent. It is further substantiated from the fact that
the deferment of training can be granted only to a civil servant appointed on Probation (hereinafter
referred to as Probationer) under provisos to sub-rule (1) of Rule 3 of the Occupational Groups and
Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 which have been framed pursuant to Section
25 read with Sections 6 and 8 of the Civil Servant Act, 1973 and not to an alien or a stranger.
Therefore, Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi was a probationer in the true sense of the law when he was given
deferment from training under the Rules framed under the Civil Servant Act, 1973. Therefore, mere
withdrawal of acceptance of offer cannot seize his status as Probationer and he has to tender his
resignation to which Establishment Division did not agree.
20. A bare reading of sub-rule (1) of Rule 3 of the Occupational Groups and Services (Probation,
Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 reflects that deferment of training can be granted purely to a
Probationer by the competent authority, either on the recommendations of the training institution or
for any cogent reasons for one year and by the appointing authority if so justified on the
recommendations of a Special Medical Board and the FPSC on the basis of compelling medical
grounds. Therefore, granting deferment from training to Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi continuously for 4
years (from 38th CTP to 41st CTP) was ultra vires of the Occupational Groups and Services
(Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 and in contravention of authority vested in the
Competent Authority under the law. Statutory rule cannot be modified or amended by administrative
instructions. (See e.g. case titled Muhammad Riaz Akhtar v. Sub-Registrar cited as PLD 1996 Lah
180 at p.187). During 2010 to 2014, the Establishment Division never informed the FPSC about the
deferment from training granted to Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi.
21. The number of fresh vacancies for allocation of occupational groups and services to the
successful candidates of CE-2013 furnished by the Establishment Division to the FPSC along with
vacancies carried forward from the previous year were notified through a Public Notice in the Press
as well as the Website of the FPSC on 19.5.2014. The vacancy occurring as a result of withdrawal of
letter of acceptance by Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi, a nominee of CE-2009, was communicated to the
FPSC on 30.10.2014 (five and half months after advertisement of the vacancies for CE-2013 and
completion of entire process of allocation of groups and services to the nominees of CE-2013) and,
therefore, was not included in the advertisement or public notice.
22. It was to be advertised later on (i.e. for CSS 2014) as required under para 2(3) of
Establishment Division O.M No. 8/15/73-TRV, dated 28.11.1973, which stipulates that vacancies
which cannot be filled by candidates belonging to the province or region to which the vacancy is
allocated should be carried over and advertised at a later date. The Hon’ble Superior Courts have
also held that the ordinary course for the Commission and the Government regarding subsequent
requisitions should be to re-advertise it.
23. Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi was allocated to PSP against Sindh (U) quota on the basis of his merit
th
in CE-2009. His withdrawal of letter of acceptance was communicated to the FPSC on 30 October
2014. Hence, an additional or fresh vacancy accrued not included in the advertisement and Public
Notice and not a consequential vacancy (elaborated infra) from within the advertised vacancies.
24. Natural justice demands that this vacancy should have accrued to the nominees of CE-2009,
next in merit, under the Sindh (U) quota or to the successful candidates of CE-2010 on the basis that
the Competent Authority was not competent to grant deferment of training to Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi
for more than one year. However, it is likely to create more complications at this stage if this option
is adopted.
25. The Policy in vogue was Establishment Division’s Office Memorandum No. 1/29/87-T.V.
dated 19 March, 1991, which has now been incorporated as Rule 17 of the CSS Competitive
Examination Rules-2014 and notified on September 19, 2013 with approval of the Federal
Government. Rule 17 of the said Rules was holding ground and a valid piece of legislation on
30.10.2014 when the communication of additional PSP seat, as explained supra, was received in the
FPSC.
26. Rule 17 of the Rules for Competitive Examination (CSS) 2014 notified on 19.9.2013
stipulates that:
(i) Once the process of allocation has been accomplished, the vacancies remained
unfilled due to non-availability of qualified candidates under any quota shall be
carried over to next examination for filing from among the same quota.
(ii) The Commission shall maintain the waiting merit list till commencement of Common
Training Programme (CTP). Therefore, if any nominee of the Commission does not
join and intimation in this regard reaches to the Commission through Establishment
Division prior to commencement of CTP, the Commission shall nominate the next
candidate on merit against a Group/Service according to his/her merit position in
respective quota and preferred choice.”
27. It provides the guiding principles for allocation against the vacancies caused by non-joiners.
Reading Rule 17 (ii) with Rule 17 (i) of the Rules for Competitive Examination (CSS) conjunctively
or analogous provisions of the 1991 OM, it is quite evident that Rule 17 or Policy in vogue is
applicable to (i) the most recently held competitive examination; and (ii) a consequential vacancy
occurring due to non-joiners from amongst the nominees of the Commission on the basis of most
recent held Competitive Examination (CE-2013 in this case) against the advertised posts either
because they decline the offer of appointment within 15 days of communication of such offer or any
nominee expires. It is not applicable to an additional vacancy occurring or communicated after the
entire process of allocation has been completed against the advertised posts as a result of somebody
resigning from the service or withdrawing the letter of acceptance of offer on the basis of
competitive examination held four years before and such vacancy has not been included in the
advertisement for the Competitive Examination.
28. It is evident from above stipulations that the policy of 1991 is silent as to how the unfilled
vacancies of previous years are to be dealt. In this regard an overarching principle has been laid
down by Establishment Division vide OM No.8/15/73-TRV, dated 28.11.1973. Para 2(3) of the OM
stipulates that:
“Vacancies which cannot be filled by candidates belonging to the province or region to which
the vacancy is allocated should be carried over and re-advertised at a later date” (vide Sl.
No.36 Estacode 2007 (Vol-I).
The above provision of the said OM, requires that the vacancy of Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi remained
unfilled on the basis of CE-2009, and reported to FPSC on 30th October, 2014, was to be advertised
later on for next examination i.e. CSS 2014. However, due to resolution of the legal issues involved
in Hamza Ali Abbasi case took longer time and could not be advertised for CE-2014. Therefore, the
Commission has decided to carry it forward to CE-2015.
29. The applicant in his Petition has acknowledged that the vacancy occurred as a result of
withdrawal of acceptance of offer by Hamza Ali Abbasi was an additional PSP seat and not a
consequential vacancy occurring under Rule 17 of the CE-Rules or analogous Policy of 1991. Hence,
the unfilled vacancy of 2009 communicated to FPSC after completion of the process of CSS 2013
and not included in the Public Notice or Advertised for CSS 2013, cannot be allocated to the
Applicant because of settled law in this regard, i.e. posts have to be advertised at a later date ( vide
OM referred to above) to provide fair and equitable opportunities to all competing candidates and to
ensure transparency.
30. For the reasons recorded at Para 17 to 29 above and the fact that vacancy occurring as a result
of withdrawal of acceptance of letter of offer is a fresh or additional unfilled PSP seat not includ ed in
the advertisement issued for CE-2013, the full Commission unanimously decided on 27.05.2015 as
under:
(i) Since the a fresh or additional vacancy occurring as a result of withdrawal of letter of
acceptance by Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi could not be included in the vacancies advertised for
allocation of groups and services to successful candidates of CE-2013 and CE-2014,
therefore, the said vacancy may be carried forward to CE-2015 for advertisement and
allocation.
(ii) Since the vacancy in the Police Service of Pakistan that has occurred on October 30, 2014 as
explained above belonged to Sindh (U) quota, it may be carried forward to PSP under Sindh
(U) quota for CE-2015 for allocation.
(iii) The Establishment Division may well be advised that no Probationer may be given deferment
of training before he or she gives joining report to the respective Division or the Academy
and rules may be amended accordingly.
(iv) The Establishment Division may further be advised not to grant deferment from training for
more than one year and that too in consultation with the FPSC and all such deferments
granted to the Probationers must be communicated to the FPSC with thirty days of
commencement of initial training. Rules may be amended accordingly.
31. As regards point at Para 6 (e), the Case of re-allocation of Ghulam Hussain Yasir from PAAS
to IRS is not identical as it is not an allocation against an additional seat but a consequential seat
covered under Rule 17 or analogous Policy of 1991. This consequential seat occurred due to death of
successful candidate of CE-2013 Mr. Usman Ghani, Punjab domiciled allocated to IRS on the basis
of his Pakistan Merit 108, before commencement of initial training. Accordingly, next in merit in
Punjab Merit Quota Mr. Ghulam Hussain Yasir was allocated to IRS in accordance with the Rule 17
of the CE-Rules or analogous Policy in vogue. Hence, the applicant cannot take shelter under the
case of Ghulam Hussain Yasir.
32. As mentioned earlier, the Establishment Division while communicating the status of Hamza
Ali Abbasi only asked the Commission to take decision in accordance with the Policy in vogue. The
said Division neither asked for any reply nor indicated that the additional PSP seat to any specific
person or the applicant. It was normal process of official correspondence between the two
institutions of the Government in which the applicant was never a party nor any of his representation
was pending in the FPSC on this point. Therefore, he has no locus standi in this case. He was,
however, afforded an opportunity of personal hearing on the directions of the Hon’ble Islamabad
High Court.
33. After hearing the applicant and for the reasons recoded above, it is established beyond doubt
that the additional vacancy communicated by the Establishment Division over 5 months after
advertisement of vacancies and completion of the entire process of allocation of Occupational
Groups and Services to successful candidates of CE-2013, was required to be re-advertised at later
date ( OM of 1973 refers), implying fresh requisition and the said additional vacancy being not
included in the advertisement of vacancies for CSS 2013, is not available for allocation to the
successful candidates of CE-2013.
34. If request of the applicant is considered against additional seat not advertised, it will lead to
moral hazard and will encourage the successful candidates, especially those with deep pockets, to
manipulate additional seats after the final result and allocation of Occupational Groups and Service s
in their quest to secure better Group or Service. It will not only threaten the credibility of the whole
process of Competitive Examination but will also dilute the faith of young generation in the princip le
of merit and transparency.
35. Accordingly, the application of Masud Humayun merits no consideration and hence, rejected.
Mr. Masud Humayun S/o Muhammad Humayun Farshori, a candidate appeared in the
Competitive Examiantion-2013 under Roll No. 5451 and allocated to Inland Revenue Service (IRS)
against Sindh (Urban) Merit Quota, on the basis of Pakistan Merit rank of 142, by the Federal Public
Service Commission (FPSC) filed a Writ Petition No. 1654/2015 before the Hon’ble Islamabad High
Court praying that “the respondents may kindly be directed to allocate the petitioner to the Sindh
Urban Merit PSP seat against available vacancy without any further delay and the petitioner may be
allowed to join the CE-2013 Specialized Training Program (STP) of Police Service of Pakistan with
immediate effect.”
2. The order passed by the Hon’ble Islamabad High Court on June 1, 2015 on Writ Petition No.
1654/2015 is reproduced below:
“At the very outset, learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner
would be satisfied if a direction is issued to the respondents to decide his
representation expeditiously. In view of submission made by the learned counsel for
the petitioner, respondents are directed to decide the representation of the petitioner
within a period of 15 days after affording him an opportunity of personal hearing.
With the above directions, the instant petition is disposed of.”
Federal Public Service Commission 113
Annual Report 2014
3. Pursuant to the directions of the Hon’ble Islamabad High Court, Mr. Masud Humayun was
afforded personal hearing on June 22, 2015. The Petitioner reiterated the points raised in his Petition
and many other points. The Commission passed a detailed order in terms of Annex-I on June 24,
2015.
4. Mr. Masud Humayun filed another petition No. 2262/2015 before Hon’ble Islamabad High
Court and the Hon’ble Court was pleased to order on July 7, 2015 as follows:
“The learned Counsel for the petitioner requested that the instant petition be treated as
a review petition and be remitted to respondent No. 1 for decision on merit. In view of
the request made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner the instant constitutional
petition along with annexures is remitted to respondent No.1 who shall treat the same
as review petition on behalf of the petitioner and shall decide the same in accordance
with Law/Rules and Regulations within a period of thirty (30) days. The instant
petition is accordingly disposed of in the above terms.”
5. The Writ Petition No. 2262/2015 is the third Petition. Prior to this, he filed Writ Petition No.
1654/2015 as indicated in Para 2. Incidentally, the Order was passed in both Writ Petitions without
Notice to the FPSC. Mr. Masud Humayun has filed yet another Petition No. FAO 69/2014 in the
Hon’ble Islamabad High Court in 2014. Thus, the Petitioner is deliberately and consciously splitting
issues and his grounds in respect of same cause of action by filing innumerable Writ Petitions/FAO
to seek relief which is not due.
6. It is well settled case law that repeated Writ Petitions cannot be filed on the same cause of
action. Section 11 of the Civil Procedure Code debars subsequent suit/petitions in which issue raised
has been heard and decided by the Hon’ble Court. Reliance is placed on the following:
(a) PLD 1965 Supreme Court 254- “A Petitioner is not entitled to take different pleas at different
times so as to file more than one writ petition on the same facts. For a further plea the proper
course would be to file a petition for review if such petition be maintainable. The general
principle of res judicata is applicable to writ petitions also.”
(b) 1971 SCMR 602- “A litigant cannot be allowed to split-up his grounds to seek relief in
respect of the same cause of action and to make different petitions at different times.”
(c) 1972 SCMR 225- Successive Writ Petitions—First petition dismissed in terms of
compromise arrived at between parties (in the instant case disposed of)-Second Petition
rightly dismissed by High Court on ground that petitioner was precluded from reagitating
same matter over again. Action of petitioner, in circumstances, held, nothing but abuse of
process of Court.
(d) 1985 CLC 1979- “Matter fully dealt with and disposed of by High Court in writ jurisdiction--
-cannot be reopened through a revision petition before it.
(e) 1974 SCMR 230 “Res Judicata, principle of—Equally applicable to proceedings in writ
jurisdiction.
Federal Public Service Commission 114
Annual Report 2014
(f) PLD 1979 Lahore 564- Certain points capable of being urged in former petition but not taken
or urged—Second Petition, held further, barred by principle of constructive res judicata.
(g) PLD 1971 Supreme Court 779- The principle of res judicata is invoked on the basis that a
party who has lost the cause once, should not be allowed to agitate it on the basis of facts and
on the same cause of action to unnecessarily harass the other party.
(h) PLD 1976 Lahore 376- Article 199 (1)(b)(i) read with Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898),
S. 491 Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908), S.11—Principle of res judicata –Not confined to
judgments but applicable to decisions and orders alike.
7. All the points raised in Writ Petition No. 2262/2015 by the Petitioner were already raised by
him during his personal hearing, which was afforded to him on June 22, 2015 on the orders of the
Hon’ble Islamabad High Court.
8. Mr. Masud Humayun, instead of invoking clause (b) under sub-section (3) of Section 7 of the
FPSC Ordinance 1977, preferred to file a Writ Petition in the Hon’ble Court which prima facie
seems to be misuse of Article 199 of the Constitution as well as abuse of process of Hon’ble Court.
FPSC reserves its right to raise the law point before the Competent Court if the Constitutional
Petition can be treated as Review Petition in terms of Section 7 (3) of the FPSC Ordinance, 1977.
9. Pursuant to directions of the Hon’ble Court, the Commission considered the review petition
of the Mr. Masud Humayun forwarded by him to the FPSC on July 22, 2015 which was given due
consideration. Since no fresh ground has been advanced by the Petitioner in his review petition and
is repeatedly iterating the same points which have already been agitated many times before, the
Commission, after due deliberations, is of the view that the review petition filed by Mr. Masud
Humayun is seeking relief which is not due, ultra vires of the law, rules and rulings of the superio r
courts (in relation to advertisement of vacancies) and hence, is not tenable. Therefore, the review
petition is rejected on the grounds comprehensively elaborated in the Commission’s Order dated
June 24, 2015 as well as the following grounds:
(i) The Order passed by the Commission on June 24, 2015 and conveyed to the Petitioner vide
this FPSC Memorandum of even number on June 25, 2015 is comprehensive and
encompassed all the points, reiterated in the Writ Petition 2262/2015, which still holds
ground.
(ii) Para 4 of the Writ Petition No. 2262/2015 reflects lack of understanding of the policy and
rules on the subject as explained below.
(iii) The Hon’ble Supreme Court has recently noted in Civil Appeal No. 86 of 2015 that “the
Federal Public Service Commission is an independent statutory body which also derives
validity from Article 242 of the Constitution.” It is empowered to take decisions based on law
and rules after due consideration.
(iv) The Commission has comprehensively recorded its observations on the views of
Establishment Division and the Law Division in its Order dated June 24, 2015.
(v) It is once again pointed out that Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi, selected on the basis of his overall
merit position (90) in CE-2009 and was allocated to Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) against
Sindh (U) quota. He was extended offer of appointment in the Government and he
communicated the acceptance of offer to the Establishment Division in writing. He was
required to join 38th Common Training Program (CTP) at Civil Services Academy, Lahore,
for initial training. But he got deferment under proviso (ii) of sub-rule (1) of Rule 3 of the
Occupational Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules, 1990 framed
under the Civil Servants Act 1973 (LXXI of 1973), which reads as “provided further that the
competent authority may allow deferment of training for one year on the recommendations of
the training institution or for any cogent reason”. After this, Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi got the
mandatory training deferred continuously for additional three years or from 38th CTP to 41st
CTP, which was in gross violation of the said rules. Had the law been followed and his
training been deferred only for one year and he had not joined the 39th CTP after expiry of
one year deferment, the vacancy would have gone to next examination (i.e. 40th CTP) and
would have been included in the vacancies meant for CSS CE-2011? Hence, a severe
injustice has been done to the qualified candidates of CSS CE-2011 by continued grant of
deferment from training to Hamza Ali Abbasi for consecutive four years in gross violation of
Occupational Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules, 1990 as well as
not reporting this vacancy in PSP under Sindh (U) quota to the FPSC promptly.
(vi) As far as the precedent of Mr. Muhammad Bilal Qayyum, a candidate of CE-2010, is
concerned, it is not identical to that of Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi. Mr. Muhammad Bilal
Qayyum, allocated to Office Management Group on the basis of his merit in CE-2010 and
took deferment of CTP for only 1 year which was in accordance with the Occupational
Groups and Services (Probation, Training and Seniority) Rules 1990 and not for four years
as in the case of Hamza Ali Abbasi. Mr. Bilal reappeared in the CE-2011 and was allocated
to Police Service of Pakistan on the basis of his merit and therefore, relinquished the vacancy
in Office Management Group.
(vii) It is reiterated that the Policy in vogue was Establishment Division’s Office Memorandum
No. 1/29/87-T.V. dated 19 March, 1991, which has now been incorporated as Rule 17 of the
CSS Competitive Examination Rules-2014 and notified on September 19, 2013 with approval
of the Federal Government. Rule 17 of the said Rules was holding ground and a valid piece
of legislation on 30.10.2014 and was in consonance with the Policy of 1991 when the
communication of additional PSP seat, as explained supra, was received in the FPSC on 30th
October 2014, over five months after the advertisement of vacancies for CE-2013 and
completion of allocation of Occupational Groups and Services process. Rule 17 of the Rules
for Competitive Examination (CSS) 2014 notified on 19.9.2013 stipulates that:
(a) Once the process of allocation has been accomplished, the vacancies remained
unfilled due to non-availability of qualified candidates under any quota shall be
carried over to next examination for filing from among the same quota.
(b) The Commission shall maintain the waiting merit list till commencement of Common
Training Programme (CTP). Therefore, if any nominee of the Commission does not
join and intimation in this regard reaches to the Commission through Establishment
Division prior to commencement of CTP, the Commission shall nominate the next
It provides the guiding principles for allocation against the vacancies caused by non-
joiners. Reading Rule 17 (ii) with Rule 17 (i) of the Rules for Competitive Examination
(CSS) conjunctively or analogous provisions of the 1991 OM, it is quite evident that Rule 17
or Policy in vogue is applicable to (i) the most recently held competitive examination; and (ii)
a consequential vacancy occurring due to non-joiners from amongst the nominees of the
Commission on the basis of most recent held Competitive Examination (CE-2013 in this
case) against the advertised posts either because they decline the offer of appointment within
15 days of communication of such offer or any nominee expires. It is not applicable to an
additional vacancy occurring or communicated after the entire process of allocation has been
completed against the advertised posts as a result of somebody resigning from the service or
withdrawing the letter of acceptance of offer on the basis of competitive examination held
four years before and such vacancy has not been included in the advertisement for the
Competitive Examination.
(viii) The purpose of incorporating Rule 17, as reproduced above, analogous to Policy 1991 was to
bring clarity. These Rules were approved by the Federal Government in Establishment
Division.
(ix) It is reiterated that an overarching principle has been laid down by Establishment Division
vide OM No.8/15/73-TRV, dated 28.11.1973. Para 2(3) of the OM stipulates that:
The above provision of the said OM, requires that the vacancy of Mr. Hamza Ali Abbasi,
remained unfilled on the basis of CE-2009, and reported to FPSC on 30th October, 2014, was
to be advertised later on for next examination i.e. CE-2014. Since the resolution of legal
issues, as explained in the Commission’s Order dated June 24, 2015, took some time and
could not be advertised for CE-2014, it has now been carried forward to CE-2015 for Sindh
(U) quota which is clearly in accordance with the aforementioned O.M. of the Establishment
Division as well as the judgement of Hon’ble Superior Court that “the ordinary course for the
Commission and the Government regarding subsequent requisitions should be to re-advertise
it.”
(x) The vacancy occurred as a result of “withdrawal of acceptance letter” (point disputed by the
FPSC) was communicated to the FPSC five and half months after advertisement of vacancies
by the FPSC and completion of the entire process of allocation to the successful candidates of
CE-2013, therefore, in the eyes of law, it was an additional vacancy and not a consequential
vacancy and could not be allocated without advertisement as held by the superior courts. The
Rule 17 of CE-Rules or analogues provision of Policy of 1991 is applicable to consequential
vacancy and not to an additional vacancy not already reported and advertised.
20.8.2015
Case No.2: Order on the Application of Ms Saleha Hassan dated 30.3.2015 Referred to the
Commission for decision by the Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan in W.P.
5926 of 2015
Ms. Salah Hassan, a rejected candidate of CE-2013 under Roll No. 11550 on account of date
of birth being overage, filed an application that she may be give relaxation of two years as she is
“also” a state subject holder of the State of Jammu and Kashmir being dependent upon her husband
who is a state subject of Jammu and Kashmir himself.
2. The Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan, passed an order on 23.4.2015
directing the respondent Commission to hear the petitioner and will dispose of the same within a
period of fifteen days. The said order of the Hon’ble High Court was received in the FPSC
Secretariat on 5.5.2015.
3. Ms. Saleha Hassan was heard at length on 15.5.2015 by the Committee of the Commission
duly constituted by the Chairman of the Commission. She informed that she got married with Hassan
Tariq Toor on 16.4.2009 and is a permanent resident of Multan. She also conceded that her parents
nor her are migrants of Jammu and Kashmir nor she is living permanently in Azad Jammu and
Kashmir.
4. Ms. Saleh Hassan appeared in the CSS Competitive Examinations viz. CE-2010, CE-2011
and CE-2013. She claimed her date of birth as 29.1.1983 in CE-2010 and CE-2011 but changed her
date of birth to 29.1.1985 in CE-2013. Her candidature was rejected, being overage by 1 year 11
months and 2 days on the cut-off date based on originally claimed date of birth by her viz. 29.1.1983,
in terms of Rule 4(v) read with Rule 4 (i) of the Rules for Competitive Examination (CSS) 2013,
notified on 20th November 2012 by the Federal Public Service Commission which reads as follows:
“Rule 4(v): Once a date of birth has been claimed by a candidate and accepted by the
Commission for the purpose of admission to an examination, no change will be
allowed at a subsequent stage.
Rule 4(i): A candidate for admission to the examination must have attained the age of
21years and not over 28 years on 31st December 2012 (i.e. a candidate born on or
before 31st December 1984 and on or after 2nd January 1992 will not be eligible)
except the candidate falling in the categories mentioned in Rule 4(ii) where any
candidate is born on or before 31st December, 1982 and born on or after 2nd January
1992 will not be eligible.”
5. Being aggrieved of this order of the Commission, Ms. Salah Hassan filed representation as
well as review petition with the FPSC which were rejected by the Commission on legal grounds.
6. She filed FAO No. 02 of 2014 in the Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan and
the Honorable Court issued an interim order directing the FPSC to allow her to appear in the
Psychological Assessment and Viva Voce besides directing the FPSC to include her in the final merit
list drawn for CSS 2013.
7. The FPSC filed CPLA/Civil Appeal in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan against the
orders of Lahore High Court, Multan Bench. The Apex Court set aside the orders of Lahore High
Court, Multan Bench, Multan on 16.3.2015 as follows:
8. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan while allowing the appeal in favour of the FPSC
passed order that:
“If the respondent has any legal recourse available to her under the law on the basis
of her domicile certificate, this judgment shall not preclude her from availing such a
remedy”.
9. Ms. Saleh Hassan has now filed an application stating that she is “also” in possession of
domicile from State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and is, therefore, entitled for age relaxation as
admissible to the “candidates who are permanent residents of Azad Jammu and Kashmir subject to
submission of a certificate to be issued by Kashmir Affairs Division, Government of Pakistan,
Islamabad” vide Rule 4(ii)(c) of the Rules for Competitive Examination (CSS), 2013 notified on 20th
November, 2012. She has submitted a certificate/domicile of state subjects of Jammu & Kashmir
dated 01.12.2014 issued by the Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate, Mir Pur, Azad Kashmir.
10. After hearing Ms Saleh Hassan at length, perusal of documentary evidence placed on record
of her file and provisions of the rules, the Commission concludes that the request of Ms Saleha
Hassan for change of domicile from Punjab to State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir is not tenable
being ultra vires of the rules for the following reasons:
(i) Rule 6(iv)(d) of the Rules for Competitive Examination (CSS) 2013, notified by the FPSC,
under which Ms Saleh Hassan submitted her application as a candidate fo r CE-2013,
stipulates that “Domicile once claimed by a candidate and accepted by the Commission for
the purpose of admission to an examination shall be final. No change will be allowed at a
subsequent examination or selection”.
(ii) On the direction of Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan when Ms Saleha Hassan was
called for psychological Assessment, she gave an undertaking dated 23.03.2014 solemnly
declaring that she is not in possession of any other domicile certificate other than the one
submitted along with the application for the Competitive Examination-2013 [Punjab
(Multan)]. She further declared that if she is found in possession of any domicile other than
the one mentioned above [Punjab (Multan)], she will be liable to dismissal from service with
costs or any other penalty (Annex-1).
(iii) Ms. Saleha Hassan applied four times for Competitive Examination i.e. CE-2009(absent),
2010, 2011 and 2013 and on all four times she submitted her domicile of Punjab issued by the
DCO, Multan on 08.10.2001. As she claimed and submitted domicile of Punjab (Multan),
therefore in terms of Rule 6 (iv)(d), he domicile shall be treated as final and no change can be
allowed at a subsequent examination and selection.
(iv) Ms. Saleha Hassan herself is not a state subject of State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir but
married with a state subject (as claimed by her though there is no evidence on record that her
husband actually is a State subject nor she produced one) on 16.04.2009. She obtained the
domicile of Jammu & Kashmir on 01.12.2014, more than five years of her marriage and after
rejection of her case relating to change in date of birth by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of
Pakistan highlighted above, despite being not a permanent resident of Azad Jammu and
Kashmir, as conceded by her during the hearing. She submitted the domicile certificate issued
by the District Magistrate, Mirpur, dated 1.12.2014 along with her application to the FPSC
on 6.4.2015 after rejection her case relating to change in date of birth by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of Pakistan on 16.3.2015
(v) At no stage prior to this she claimed age relaxation on the basis of domicile of Jammu &
Kashmir in her candidature for the Competitive Examinations of 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013.
It clearly seemed to be an after-thought.
(vi) Ms Saleha Hassan now possesses two domicile certificates, as acknowledge by her during the
hearing. Under Rule 23 of the Pakistan Citizenship Rules 1952 while applying for a domicile,
the applicant is required to fill Form (P-1) and to attach with it an affidavit that he/she is not
in possession of any other domicile from any district. Therefore, it is criminal offence to hold
two domicile certificates simultaneously under rule 26 of Pakistan Citizenship Rules, 1952,
for which she is liable to be prosecuted under CE Rule 7(vi) of CE-2013.
(vii) Ms Saleha Hassan obtained certificate of state subjects Jammu & Kashmir on 01.12.2014
whereas the cut-off date for determining the eligibility of candidates with regard to age,
qualification, domicile, etc. in terms of Rule 3 of CE-2013 was 31.12.2012.
Certificate/domicile of Jammu & Kashmir issued after the cut-off date is not admissible for
the CE-2013.
(viii) In another similar case of Mr. Naveed Mubashar Ch. (Civil Appeal No.1166 of 2003), the
Hon’ble Supreme Court has observed that the appellant does not deny that in the examination
forms for the CSS Competitive Examination held in 1999 he had declared his domicile as that
of Punjab. That being so, the order of the Federal Public Service Commission which has been
upheld by the learned High Court (in W.P No.23738/2010) was unexceptionable and in
accord with Rule 6(iii)(h) of the FPSC Rules for Competitive Examination 1999, which reads
as follows:-
“6(iii)(h): The domicile once claimed and accepted by the Commission for the
purpose of admission to an examination, no change will be allowed at a
subsequent examination or selection.”
Accordingly appeal of that candidate Mr. Naveed Mubashar Ch. for change of domicile was
dismissed. On the analogy of the above said Civil Appeal, the case of Mrs. Saleha Hassan is
not maintainable.
11. Ms Saleha Hass produced a copy of the O.M. of the Establishment Division No.F.8/5/75
dated 12.8.1975 stating therein that “the domicile of a married female candidate may be accepted to
be the same as that of her husband for the purpose of direct recruitment.” during the hearing and
requested that her domicile may be treated as that of her husband as stipulated in the said O.M. She
never took this plea prior to date of hearing on 15.5.2015 while submitting her candidature for CE-
2010, CE-2011 and CE-2013 despite the fact that she got married on 16.4.2009.
12. She was not aware of the fact that the said O.M. held ground till 2001 as reflected in Rule 6
(iii)(f) of the Rules for Competitive Examination, 2001 notified with the approval of the Federal
Government on 8.10.2001 and reads as follows:
“The domicile of a married female candidate will be accepted to be the same as that
of her husband.-----“
13. However, the said rule as well as the rule relating to domicile of father of candidates of
competitive examinations for the purpose of allocation of occupational groups and services were
omitted in Rules for the Competitive Examinations 2002 notified with the approval of the Federal
Government on 18.11.2002 and continuously since then and has been substituted by Rules 6 (iii) (a)
from 2002 onwards reads as under:
14. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in Civil Appeal Nos. 1328 to 1327 of 2002 observed
relating to the amended Rule 6 (iii)(a) that “ the crucial question that falls for determination is as to
which rule would govern the candidates who had appeared in 2001 examination. Obviously, they
cannot be governed by the rule which had been struck by the Sindh High Court and we are of the
considered view that those who took examination in 2001 shall be governed by subsequent amended
holding the field in 2002.” This observation was reiterated in the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of Pakistan in Civil Appeal Nos. 1380 of 2005.
15. Ms Saleh Hassan appeared in CE-2013 which was governed by the Rules for Competitive
Examination-2013 notified with the approval of the Federal Government on 20.11.2013 which
included only Rule 6 (iii)(a) as reproduced in Para 13 above and the rule reproduced at Para 12 above
based on the O.M. has not been part of the Rules for Competitive Examination since 2002 onwards.
Therefore, Ms. Saleha Hassan cannot seek relief on the basis of a rule or O.M. which was never the
part of Rules for Competitive Examination-2013 which required the consideration of domicile of a
candidate.
16. Under the law vide Section 7(3) of FPSC Ordinance; a candidate aggrieved by any decision
of the FPSC may within 30 days of communication of that decision make a representation to the
Commission. Her current representation is not against any decision of the FPSC but based on the
observations of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan made in its judgment dated 16.3.2015 quoted
at para 8 above. She has been heard pursuance to the orders of the Hon’ble Lahore High Court,
Multan Bench, Multan, to dispose-off her application. Therefore, the current application of Ms
Saleha Hassan cannot be treated as representation but at best a miscellaneous application filed by
her.
17. In view of the above facts, reasons and position of the rules, the Commission orders as under:
(a) the application of Ms Saleha Hassan is not tenable being ultra vires of the Rules for
Competitive Examination-2013 and hence, rejected.
(b) Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan may be requested to inquire into the tenacity
of the domicile certificate issued to Ms Saleha Hassan as well as to determine if she is a
permanent resident of Azad Kashmir Territory and the conduct of issuance District
Magistrate, Mirpur.
(c) A reference may be made to the Ministry of Interior along with above facts for probing into
the question of holding two domicile certificates concurrently by the applicant Ms Saleha
Hassan and processing the case under the relevant law.
Order on the Application of Ms Saleha Hassan dated 30.5.2015 Transmitted by the Hon’ble
Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan in W.P. 8999 of 2015 for Decision by the
Commission
Ms. Saleha Hassan, a rejected candidate of CE-2013 under Roll No.11550 on account of date
of birth being overage, filed an application dated May 30, 2015 received in the office on June 1,
2015 stating that:
2. The Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan vide its order dated 16.06.2015 in
W.P. No. 8999 of 2015, received in the FPSC’s relevant office on June 22, 2015, directed that “let a
copy of this petition along with all the annexures be transmitted to respondent No.1, who shall look
Federal Public Service Commission 122
Annual Report 2014
into the matter and decide the application of the petitioner (appended with this petition at page 19
Annex “F”) within a period of ten days from the receipt of the order of this court by providing the
opportunity of hearing to all the concerned strictly, in accordance with law.”
3. It took some time to process the case to seek approval of the Chairman, FPSC for constitution
of a Committee comprising Members of the Commission to accord personal hearing to the applicant
Ms Saleha Hassan pursuant to the directions of the Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench,
Multan.
4. Accordingly, Ms. Saleha Hassan was provided personal hearing on July 2, 2015 wherein she
reiterated her view point and arguments mentioned in her application dated May 30, 2015 and reflect
at Para 1 supra. In support of her arguments, she also cited the cases of Amna Kamal, Saba Akbar
and Inam-ul-Haq who, according to the applicant, were provided relief by the Commission in the
past. When the applicant was asked to provide evidence in support of her assertions, she failed to
produce any documentary evidence or otherwise. When asked as to why her husband sought the
Certificate of subject of State of Jammu and Azad Kashmir so late in 2014 and what was his status at
the time of getting commission in the Pakistan Army, she replied that she was not aware of this.
5. Prior to this, on the directions of the Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan
dated April 23, 2015 in another W.P. No 5926 of 2015 of the same applicant, Ms Saleha Hassan was
provided personal hearing on May 15, 2015 on the same issue, i.e. seeking age relaxation for two
years on the same grounds that she is a Subject of State of Jammu and Kashmir on the basis of her
marriage with a person who is a State subject. The Commission, after hearing the applicant, passed a
comprehensive speaking order deliberating on this issue at length which was transmitted to the
Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan on May 19, 2015, as directed. A copy of the said
order is again enclosed once again highlighting the reasons for rejecting her application (Annex-I).
6. For record, the following facts are reiterated for better understanding of the case:
(i) Ms. Saleh Hassan applied four times for the CSS Competitive Examinations but appeared in
the examination three times, maximum number of chances under the rules viz. CE-2009
(absent), CE-2010, CE-2011 and CE-2013.
(ii) She claimed her date of birth as 29.1.1983 in CE-2009 (absent), CE-2010 and CE-2011 but
changed her date of birth to 29.1.1985 in CE-2013.
(iii) Her candidature for CE-2013 was rejected, being overage by 1 year 11 months and 2 days on
the cut-off date of 31.12.2012 for CE-2013 based on originally claimed date of birth by her
viz. 29.1.1983, in terms of Rule 4(v) read with Rule 4 (i) of the Rules for Competitive
th
Examination (CSS) 2013, notified on 20 November 2012 by the Federal Public Service
Commission.
(iv) The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld the decision of the Commission vide its
judgment dated March 16, 2015, saying:
Issue of Domicile
(v) The applicant Ms. Saleha Hassan applied four times for Competitive Examination viz. CE-
2009 (absent), 2010, 2011 and 2013, as mentioned supra, and on all four occasions she
submitted her domicile of Punjab issued by the DCO, Multan on 08.10.2001.
(vi) As the applicant Ms Saleha Hassan claimed and submitted domicile of Punjab (Multan),
therefore in terms of Rule 6 (iv)(d) of Rules for Competitive Examination (CSS) stipulating
that “Domicile once claimed by a candidate and accepted by the Commission for the purpose
of admission to an examination shall be final. No change will be allowed at a subsequent
examination or selection,” her domicile of District Multan has been treated as final and no
change can be allowed at a subsequent examination and selection.
(vii) The applicant Ms Saleha Hassan, according to her own statement during personal hearing,
got married with Mr. Hassan Tariq Toor on 16.4.2009.
(viii) After her marriage, Ms. Saleha Hassan applied and appeared in CE-2010, CE-2011 and CE-
2013 but at no stage in her applications for these examinations, she claimed that she is also a
subject of State of Jammu and Kashmir on the basis of her marriage with a State Subject nor
she ever claimed any age relaxation on this basis. Rather, she continued to claim her status as
domiciled of District Multan, Province of Punjab.
(ix) The applicant Ms Saleha Hassan herself confessed during her personal hearing that she is not
a permanent resident of State of Jammu and Kashmir but married with a state subject.
(x) The cut-off date for determining the eligibility for candidature for Competitive Examination-
2013 in terms of age, qualification and domicile or any age relaxation claimed under any of
the categories mentioned vide Rule 4 read with Rule 5 and 6 of the Rules for Competitive
Examination 2013 (the validity of which has already been upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of Pakistan) was December 31, 2012.
(xi) If in her view, she was entitled to any age relaxation on the basis of any instrument validly
issued by the lawful competent authority under the Law, she should have claimed such
relaxation when filled and submitted the application and applied for CE-2013.
(xii) The fact is that in her Application Form for CE-2013, Ms Saleha Hassan categorically
opted/ticked “No” against column No.13(a) relating to whether age relaxation claimed or not.
(xiii) As underlined above, she did not indicate at any stage, filling and submission of application
for CE-2013, Psychological Assessment and Viva Voce held under the direction of Hon’ble
Lahore High Court, Multan Bench that she is a State subject nor claimed age relaxation on
this ground. She never agitated this point in any of her petitions prior to W.P. 5926 of 2015.
The applicant at no stage raised this point in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan.
(xiv) The fact of the matter is that husband of the applicant Mr. Hassan Tariq Toor obtained the
Certificate of being a State subject vide No. 1635/2014 dated 29.11.2014 issued by District
Magistrate Mirpur, Azad Kashmir while the applicant got the certificate issued in her favour
vide No. 1638/2014 dated 1.12.2014.
(xv) Following facts are underlined in relation to these two certificates and their tenability:
(a) The husband of the applicant Mr. Hassan Tariq Toor has obtained the said Certificate
37 years of his birth (24.02-1977).
(b) Both the applicant Ms Saleha Hassan and her husband obtained the said Certificate
more than five years after their marriage;
(c) Both the applicant Ms Saleha Hassan and her husband obtained the said Certificate
almost two years after closing date for CE-2013 and the cut-off date for determining
eligibility in terms of age, qualifications and domicile;
(d) Both the applicant Ms Saleha Hassan and her husband obtained the said Certificate to
claim age relaxation only when the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld the
decision of the FPSC rejecting her candidature being over age for CE-2013 and she
failed to get relief on the basis of manipulated date of birth.
(xvi) The processing of applications for CE-2013 is now a settled and closed transaction. A
Certificate issued more than two years after the closing date or the cut-off date for CE-2013 is
not admissible for seeking any relief. It will be a clear violation of Rules for Competitive
Examination 2013.
7. Now we turn to the cases pointed out by the applicant Ms Saleha Hassan during her personal
without producing any evidence in her support.
8. The applicant Ms. Saleha Hassan said that the Commission accepted candidature of Ms
Amna Kamal, appeared in CE-2008, after the cut-off date.
9. According to the office, the facts of the case are that the actual name of the candidate is
Assmma Kamal and not Amna Kamal. She applied for CE-2008. As per application form, she
studied at Institute of Business and Information Technology, Lahore, from 2004-2007 and passed
BBIT (Hons). Her case was submitted to the Commission, as according to her application, result
seemed to have been declared on 04.01.2008, after the cut-off date viz. 1.1.2008. However, the
Commission directed to seek clarification from the University of Punjab about the actual date of
announcement of result. The Registrar, University of Punjab, Lahore confirmed that provisional
transcript was issued to Ms. Assmma Kamal on 26.09.2007 and the degree was issued on
28.11.2008. Since the result was announced before the cut-off date, therefore, the Commission
accepted her candidature. Clearly, the facts of the Assmma Kamal are not identical to the Applicant’s
case and Ms Assmma Kamal had acquired the requisite qualification before the eligibility cut-off
date according to the office record.
10. According to the Applicant, the Commission accepted the Sindh (U) domicile in case Ms.
Saba Akbar after the cut-off date. According to the office and as per its record, the facts of the case
are:
11. Ms. Saba Akbar, a candidate of CE-2012 under Roll No. 13477, claimed AJK domicile in her
application form but did not submit the same with the application form. However, in the check list,
she mentioned against the column of domicile that the same is under process. She was reminded for
the same but she could not provide before announcement of result of the written portion of CE-2012.
Subsequently, she informed that as her spouse was Kashmiri by origin and she was under the
impression that she would automatically get AJK domicile but could not obtain the same under AJK
Government rules. Ms. Saba Akbar submitted domicile of Sindh (U), where she has been a
permanent resident, which was issued by the DCO Karachi on 21.08.2003. Since the said domicile of
Sindh (Urban) was issued much before the eligibility curt-off date viz. 31.12.2011, the Commission
accepted her domicile as Sindh (U).
It may be added here that Ms Saba Akbar applied for the first time and was considered
against Sindh(U) domicile whereas Ms Saleha Hassan applied four times against Punjab domicile
(District Multan) and at no stage she informed that she is a subject of State of Jammu and Kashmir
nor ever claimed age relaxation on that basis.
Clearly the facts of Ms Saba Akbar’s case are not identical to the case of Applicant. The
Commission accepted the domicile of Sindh (U) of Ms Saba Akbar which was issued much before
the eligibility cut-off date whereas in case of Ms Saleha Hassan, the certificate of state subject has
been issued two years after the eligibility cut-off date.
12. As per office and its record, Mr. Inamul Haq appeared in CE-2001 under Roll No. 3598
against Balochistan domicile and finally qualified with overall merit No.571. He could not be
allocated to any Group/Service due to his low merit position. He again appeared in CE-2002. Since,
he was becoming overage by the eligibility cut-off date for CE-2002, therefore, he claimed age
relaxation of two years on the basis of Certificate of Subject of State of Jammu and Kashmir. He
qualified the written examination of CE-2002 when his case was put up to the Commission. The
Commission rejected his candidature in terms of Rule 6(iii)(d) of Competitive Examination-2002,
i.e. Domicile once claimed by a candidate and accepted by the Commission for the purpose of
13. The Applicant Ms Saleha Hassan, a candidate for CE-2013, availed her opportunity of
making representation under Section 7(3) of FPSC Ordinance, 1977, when her candidature was
rejected on the basis of being overage. She also availed her opportunity of filing a review when her
representation was reject. The right to file representations or reviews is not unending or infinite.
Subsequently, she has been afforded personal hearing twice viz. May 15, 2015 and July 2, 2015 on
directions of the Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan, to dispose-off her
miscellaneous applications.
14. In view of the above facts, reasons and position of the rules, and after considering the facts of
the cases pointed out by the applicant, the Commission orders that the application of Ms Saleha
Hassan seeking age relaxation of two years on the basis of Certificate issued by the District
Magistrate Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, almost two years after the closing date and eligibility cut-off date
for CE-2013 is not tenable being ultra vires of the Rules for Competitive Examination-2013 and
hence, rejected.
The Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan was pleased to direct in Writ
Petition No. 11961 of 2015 on 18.8.2015 that “Let Respondent No. 1 and 2 are directed to decide the
review petition (Annexure-J) of the present petitioner, pending adjudication expeditiously within
fortnight under the intimation to the Deputy Registrar (Judicial) of this Court. With this direction,
this petition stands disposed of.” The said orders were received in the Federal Public Service
Commission on 21.8.2015.
cause of action. Prior to this, Ms Saleha Hassan filed Writ Petition No. 5926 of 82015, Writ Petition
No. 8999/2015 and now 11961/2015. Prior to current series of Petitions, she also filed Writ Petition
No. 15811 of 2013, FAO No.02/2014, Civil Petition No. 503 of 2014, Civil Petition No. 637 of 2014
and Civil Petition No. 86 of 2015
3. Ms. Saleha Hassan, a candidate for CE-2013 had already availed the remedies of
representation and review petitions under Section 7(3) of FPSC Ordinance, 1977, when her
candidature for CSS 2013 was rejected on the basis of being overage. Accordingly the Commission
rejected her Representation and Review Petition vide Memorandum dated 18.11.2013 and
10.12.2013 respectively. The decision of the Commission has been upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of Pakistan vide judgement dated 16.03.2015 passed in Civil Appeal No.86 of 2015.
4. On the directions of the Hon’ble Lahore High Court, Multan Bench, Multan vide order dated
23.04.2015 and 16.06.2015, she has been afforded personal hearing twice i.e. May 15, 2015 and July
02, 2015. The Commission, after hearing Ms Saleha Hassan, has passed comprehensive speaking
orders on 15.5.2015 (Annex-I) and 2.7.2015 (Annex-II).
5. It is well settled case law that repeated Writ Petitions cannot be filed on
the same cause of action. Section 11 of the Civil Procedure Code debars
subsequent suit/petitions in which issue raised has been heard and decided
by the Hon’ble Court. Reliance is placed on the following:
(i) PLD 1965 Supreme Court 254- “A Petitioner is not entitled to take different pleas at different
times so as to file more than one writ petition on the same facts. For a further plea the proper
course would be to file a petition for review if such petition be maintainable. The general
principle of res judicata is applicable to writ petitions also.”
(j) 1971 SCMR 602- “A litigant cannot be allowed to split-up his grounds to seek relief in
respect of the same cause of action and to make different petitions at different times.”
(k) 1985 CLC 1979- “Matter fully dealt with and disposed of by High Court in writ jurisdiction--
-cannot be reopened through a revision petition before it.
(l) 1974 SCMR 230 “Res Judicata, principle of—Equally applicable to proceedings in writ
jurisdiction.
(m) PLD 1979 Lahore 564- Certain points capable of being urged in former petition but not taken
or urged—Second Petition, held further, barred by principle of constructive res judicata.
(n) PLD 1971 Supreme Court 779- The principle of res judicata is invoked on the basis that a
party who has lost the cause once, should not be allowed to agitate it on the basis of facts and
on the same cause of action to unnecessarily harass the other party.
(o) PLD 1976 Lahore 376- Article 199 (1)(b)(i) read with Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898),
S. 491 Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908), S.11—Principle of res judicata –Not confined to
judgments but applicable to decisions and orders alike.
6. All the points raised in Writ Petition No. 11961/2015 by the Petitioner have already been
raised by Ms. Saleha during her personal hearing and previous Petitions and application which have
been comprehensively dealt with vide orders of the Commission dated 15.5.2015 and 2.7.2015
(Annex-I and II). Since no new grounds/reasons has been mentioned in her fresh miscellaneous
application dated 10.07.2015, therefore, the Commission has rejected the same by maintaining its
order passed on 15.5.2015 and 2nd July, 2015 communicated to the applicant Ms. Saleha Hassan on
7th July, 2015 and a copy of which has already been forwarded to Lahore High Court, Multan Bench,
Multan.
