FPSC Suitability Clause 'victims' to appeal before high courts
Lahore, April 25, 2008: The 'victims' of the Federal
Public Service Commission (FPSC)'s Suitability Clause will file petitions before
high courts across the country, seeking a stay order against their appointments,
they said on Thursday.
At least 21 Central Superior Services
(CSS) examination candidates have fallen 'victim' to the Suitability
Clause.
Falak Sher (number 57 on the merit list), a candidate from
Punjab, has been declared 'unsuitable' for a job in the District Management
Group (DMG) and has, instead, been assigned to the Customs Department. Sher has
decided to lead other disgruntled candidates from Punjab within a few days to
file an appeal in the Lahore High Court (LHC) to protest their employment
designations.
Syed Mashkoor Ali (179 on the merit list) and Fuad Ghaffar
Soomro (116 on the list) belong to Sindh and have been assigned to the Income
Tax Department instead of the Customs and the Police (which had been their
preferences). They will lead other disgruntled candidates from Sindh to file a
petition in the Sindh High Court.
Dr Mohammad Junaid (merit number 154),
a candidate from Balochistan, has been assigned a post in the Pakistan Railways
instead of the police.
He will lead other disgruntled candidates from
Balochistan and file a petition in the Balochistan High Court within a few days
for a stay order against their assignations under the Suitability
Clause.
Mehmoodur Rehman Khattak (merit 37) has been assigned to the
Customs Department instead of his preferred choice of the DMG. He will lead the
NWFP's Suitability Clause 'victims'.
The five men, who will lead their
fellow candidates, said on Monday that they would try to get the
stay order after which they would submit their applications to the FPSC office.
They said they were sure that the FPSC would reject their applications, adding
that if this proved to be the case, they would take their appeals to the high
courts.
The FPSC issued the final assignation list on April 23 in which
189 CSS candidates were appointed to occupational groups and services. The
candidates have been asked to send their acceptance letters via priority mail to
the Establishment Division within 15 days otherwise their "offers will be
cancelled and no representation [for them] will be entertained".
Dr
Ishrat Hussain, chairman of the National Commission on Government Reforms, said that the Suitability Clause would not the bar anyone from sitting
the National Executive Service promotion examination.
The candidates said
that, previously, the Suitability Clause had been initiated only on two or three
candidates every year, which disturbed the complete merit list. This was the
reason why the FPSC had not used the Suitability Clause for the last five years,
the five men said. "Pakistan is already facing a major brain drain and this step
[the use of the clause] has only served to emotionally disturb the most
competent brains of the country who have chosen careers in civil service," they
added.
They said that most of the candidates who had suffered because of
the clause were from backward areas of the country. They said that this was the
first time since the establishment of the FPSC in 1977 that the clause had been
used in "such a reckless manner". They said its implementation was nothing less
than "sheer discrimination".
Dr Junaid, leading the candidates from
Balochistan, noted that he had been denied a job in the Income Tax Department
even though it had two vacant seats and his merit (154) rendered him eligible to
fill one of the posts. He said that ironically, a person with a lower merit
(162) was appointed to the police, one of the departments that requires the
highest merit. "Declaring me unsuitable for the top seven occupational groups is
a violation of my constitutional rights," he said.
Syed Mashkoor Ali said
that he had been declared unsuitable for the Customs Department and suitable for
the Income Tax Department despite the fact that both departments were
subsidiaries of the Federal Board of Revenue and were financial services. Ali is
already working at the Income Tax Department.
Falak Sher said he had been
working at the Income Tax group (34 common). He said the FPSC had declared him
ineligible for both the police and DMG, even after he had received clearance
from the FPSC commission. He was placed at number 57 on the merit list. A seat
in the police was given to a candidate with a merit of 162, while those with
merit numbers 119, 143 and 154 were denied the job.
The candidates also
pointed out another instance in which Saima Saleem, who is physically disabled
and placed sixth on the merit list, was appointed to the Foreign Services group.
Other candidates said that this was the first time that a disabled person had
been appointed to this department. An FPSC official said that if the candidates
had applied to the FPSC first, they would get "all answers on their rights". He
said the FPSC chairman had the discretionary power to implement the Suitability
Clause on a case-by-case basis. He said the candidates had the right to appeal
to the FPSC, but they did not have the right to challenge the commission's
decision.
189 CSS candidates assigned to groups or services
Islamabad: The Federal Public Service Commission has assigned 189
successful candidates of the 2007 Competitive Examination to various
occupational groups and services, a press release said on Wednesday. It

"It is an irony of our country that persons sitting on the other side of the table are heartless and emotionless. They care about nothing but themselves and their close ones. They have no regards or vision about the country or the younger generation in it. Whereas, we are the one who are trying the clean up the filth created over the past 60 years by our military/civil bureacracy and politicians. All it needs is a single visit to court and police station to develop hatred and mistrust for this country of ours. A youngster having qualification, knowledge and competence is downgraded and overrun by the system. This is the only reason why we are a third world/country. FPSC needs to reconsider its selection procedure and criteria. There is absolutely no doubt that only the competent people get through and to bypass merit means nurturing super-incompetence into the system. I fully support and pray and wish good luck to those candidate fighting for their right. Although they have will gain nothing but shattered heart and envy of FPSC, which will remain a hurdle in their professional civl service career, but still wish you guys and ladies best of luck."
