ORDER

' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.---This is a petition for special leave to appeal from the order dated 13-12-1993 of the Lahore High Court whereby the Constitution petition preferred by the petitioner was dismissed.

2. The petitioner was serving as an executive engineer in the Building and Works Department of the University of Engineering and Technology. He was responsible for the maintenance of the hostels of the University. For the efficient discharge of his duties he was delegated with financial powers to incur expenditure up to Rs, 10,000. Subsequently, by a series of orders falling between 28-3-1992 and 10-8-1992 his financial powers were curtailed. He filed a Constitution petition in the High Court challenging the curtailment of his powers. The petition was dismissed and he was called upon to pay Rs, 10,000 by way of special costs. He seeks leave to appeal from this Court.

3. This petition is clearly misconceived. The delegation of financial powers upon the petitioner was not intended to confer any right or quasi-rights on him; it was merely intended to assist him in performing his duties efficiently. He cannot possibly be said to be aggrieved if this power is taken away from him or curtailed. The High Court was therefore right in dismissing the petition as it was clearly not maintainable. Leave is refused. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
