GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN CABINET SECRETARIAT ESTABLISHMENT DIVISION ****** No. 1/13/96-R-6                                                                            Islamabad, the 7th May, 2014/ OFFICE MEMORANDUM Subject:           Appeal Under Section-4 Of The Service Tribunal Act, 1973.                         The undersigned is directed to refer t-II/2012-144-R.I/2013, dated 29th March, 2013 on the above subject and to say that at present employees working in Ministries/ Divisions/Departments are of the view that up-gradation of posts means automatic up-gradation of its incumbents. This concept is incorrect, Establishment Division’s O.M. No. 5(1)/67-DV, dated 16.10.1967, read with O.M. No. 8/130/91-R-I, dated 12th May, 1992 (copies enclosed) provides that up-gradation of posts means abolition of previous post and creation of new post in higher scale. Appointment to up-graded posts will have to be made in the manner prescribed in the Recruitment Rules approved by Establishment Division/FPSC. 2.                     In the instant appeal & in many other appeals / writ petitions received in Establishment Division, it is observed that employees who are not promoted since long are inspired from up-gradation of other posts and hence, they aspire for up-gradation of their posts several employees, whose cases were not covered under up-gradation policy and hence rejected by this Division or by their parent Ministry/Division file writ petitions in courts praying for up-gradation of their posts. Due to above referred court cases the work load of Establishment Division/ Finance Division has considerably been increased. 3.                     Establishment Division is of the view that in order to decrease the number of court cases and bring uniformity, Finance Division may constitute a committee comprising expert members to formulate a uniform time scale promotion policy applicable on civil servants working under the Federal Government.
