SHC Adjourns Hearing of Petition against Quota System
Karachi August 28 (Online Int’l): Sindh High Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing of a constitutional petition against the quota system, directing the petitioner to provide all related records as well as notifications regarding the quota system.
A division bench of SHC comprising Justice Mehmood A Khan and Justice Agha Faisal heard the constitutional petition filed by Altaf Shakoor and directed his lawyer Irfan Aziz Advocate to place on record all related documents, gazette notifications and other records. Petitioner Altaf Shakoor, Chairman of Pasban Democratic Party (PDP) in his constitutional petition has submitted thar the quota system in Pakistan has already died its constitutional death in 2013 and its rotten dead body, instead of a respectful burial, is still being dragged by the respondents.
“Resultantly, the sufferer is the general public of Pakistan, which is being denied of efficient governance, as recruitments are still made on an outdated quota system that has already lived its useful age, as prescribed by the Constitution of Pakistan, instead of pure ability and merit.”
He submitted that the quota system in Pakistan was originally established to give every region of the country representation in institutions according to their population.
He said that after the expiry in 2013, the quota system is practically dead and buried, because the constitutional cover is no more available to this practice. In the absence of extension of the period, given in the Constitution, implementation of the quota regime has already become unlawful.
