' The sole grievance of the petitioner is that he has been superseded by the Provincial Selection Board owing to a misleading synopsis/working paper submitted by the departmental authorities for consideration of the Board and on that basis has been erroneously ignored for promotion.
2. Clearly, the grievance of the petitioner is germane to terms and conditions of service, which is not open to challenge in writ jurisdiction. Be that as it may, no final order has been passed by the competent authority relating to promotion or otherwise of the petitioner. This is another circumstance, which disentitles the petitioner to claim any relief in these proceedings. Refers Superintendent of Police, Headquarter, Lahore v. Muhammad Latif (PLD 1988 SC 387) and Abdul Wahab Khan v. Government of the Punjab (PLD 1989 SC 508), wherein it was held that a civil servant cannot challenge the interim order in respect of terms and conditions of his service by filing a Constitutional petition. The petitioner shall be at liberty to approach the appropriate Service Tribunal at appropriate stage for the redress of his grievance in the light of the observations made by the Supreme Court in Ageela Asghar Ali v. Miss Khalida Khatoon (PLD 1991 SC 1118). However, as the matter is still under consideration before the competent authority, I have no doubt in any mind that in order to avoid protracted litigation between the parties, all aspects of the matter including the petitioner's grievance raised in this petition shall be looked into before passing the final order.
' With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of.
