The Peshawar High Court (PHC) issued a stay #order, temporarily preventing the elementary and secondary education department from assigning management roles to additional teaching staff.
A bench consisting of #Justice Syed Arshad Ali and Justice Mohammad Ijaz Khan instructed the chief secretary and the elementary and secondary education (E&SE) secretary to respond within two weeks to a petition filed by 24 officers from the department’s management cadre. The petition challenges the appointment of teaching cadre officers to management positions that are designated for the management cadre.
The petitioners urged the #court to enforce the National Education Policy, along with relevant superior court rulings and service #rules, concerning their cadre. They also sought an order directing authorities to “adjust” them into management cadre roles.
Filed by Jaffar Mansoor Abbasi and 23 other officers ranging from BPS-16 to BPS-19, the petition requested interim relief by stopping the department from assigning #teachers to management positions until the #case is resolved.
Respondents in the #petition include the provincial government, represented by the chief secretary, and the secretaries of the establishment and elementary and secondary #education departments.
During the hearing, the bench expressed concern that while teaching cadre officers were being appointed to management roles, management cadre officers were being made officers on special duty, receiving salaries without performing any work.
Advocate Khalid Rehman, representing the petitioners, argued that in May 2024, 24 #management cadre officers were placed at the disposal of the directorate of elementary and secondary education to accommodate #teaching cadre officers in management posts, violating the #law and superior court judgments.
