Petitioner was an employee of the respondent/Board on contract basis, his services were terminated. He challenged such termination before this Court through a Constitutional Petition,
2. At the very outset the learned counsel for the respondents has raised a preliminary objection relating to the maintainability of this petition. He submits that the services of the petitioners were not governed by any statutory rules. Consequently, in the light of a number judgments rendered by the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan as well as this Court, this petition is not maintainable. In this regard the learned counsel has placed reliance on PIAC Vs. Tanveer-ur-Rehman and others (PLD 2010 S.C. 676), Executive Council Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad Vs. M.Tufail Hashmi (2010 SCM R 1484); Chairman State Life Insurance Corporation etc. Vs. Hamayuon Irfan etc (2010 SCM R 1495). The learned counsel has also placed on record copy of an order passed by the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan in C.P. No. 1258-L/2006 in the case of Zahid Bashir Vs. PCB etc, where a similar matter involving the respondent/Board was disposed of by the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan on the question of jurisdiction. The learned counsel has also placed on record orders passed on 6.10.2010 in W.P. No. 4481/2007 and order dated 8.11.2010 passed in W.P. No. 17825/2008, in which this Court has declined to interfere in the cases of similarly placed employees of the respondent/Board by relying on the law laid down in the aforesaid judgments of the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to distinguish the aforesaid judgments.
Consequently, this petition is not maintainable. It is accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs.
