The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday rejected the petition filed by a sub-engineer (mechanical) for his appointment on the basis of his name on the waiting list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In its 14-page verdict, the LHC said that after the expiry of the term of the merit list, the candidate on the waiting list had no right to be appointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high court thus threw out the writ petition filed by Habib Sultan and upheld the Public Service Commission\u2019s decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assistant Advocate General Muhammad Usman Khan appeared on behalf of the Punjab government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court said that under the Regulation 63, merit list was valid only for 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It noted that the term of the merit list had expired on February 25, 2026, while the petitioner approached the LHC on May 16, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court said that there was no extension in the term of the merit list after a seat fell vacant, and the fact that Ikramullah had resigned from his post did not mean that the seat had fallen vacant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
