The Supreme Court on Wednesday accepted for regular hearing a plea by the Provincial Civil Service (PCS) officers against the alleged exploitation of services at the hands of District Management Group (DMG) officers and served notices on the Establishment Division secretary and all four chief secretaries for the submission of their reply by July 4. A three-member SC bench of Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan, Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali and Justice Tariq Parvez was hearing a petition filed by PCS officers against DMG officers.
Lawyers for the petitioners submitted that DMG officers were deputed in the provinces and their appointments affected the promotions of PCS officers. They said the posting of DMG officers in provinces should be declared unlawful and the responsible DMG officers should be penalised for violating the constitution and law for suppressing the provincial services. The petition was filed under Article 184(3). Some senior lawyers said it was for the first time in the history of Pakistan that a constitutional petition had been filed against the alleged exploitation of provincial services at the hands of DMG officers.
The PCS officers have challenged the legality of posting of the DMG officers in the provinces on the grounds that they belong to the federal service, therefore, are ineligible for posting in the provinces and in districts. The prayer has been made on the premise that posting of the federal officers in the provinces can only be made under agreement between the provinces and the federation as envisaged in Civil Service of Pakistan (Composition & Cadre) Rules 1954 through which the provinces surrender specific posts for an all-Pakistan service to be constituted of officers from DMG and the PCS. However, in violation of rules, no such service has been constituted and the unilateral posting of federal officers in the provinces is being done without any legal justification.
The PCS officers have further prayed that the DMG officers have occupied all important posts in the provinces, completely marginalising the provincial services. Taking advantage of their preponderant position in the provinces, they have manoeuvred such rules and policies that have resulted in exploitation of PCS officers in their own provinces, the plea said. The petitioners said the condition in Punjab was the worst, where all provincial services put together had a negligible share of three secretaries from 43 administrative secretaries, while the PCS share was zero. Likewise, all posts of commissioners in the provinces were under occupation of DMG officers.
PCS officers are completely lying. Who says that DMG officers are a part of federal government only ???? According to constitution, Article 240, DMG and PSP forms a part of APUG (All Pakistan Civil Service) which is common to both provinces and the federation. So in simple words, DMG officers belong to both provincial and federal services. When they serve in provinces, they come under the jurisdiction of provincial government but when they serve at federal level, they become the part of federal service.
DMG/CSP was created to promote interprovincial harmony but the jealousy & parochialism let loose by provincial service is detrimental to the cohesion of our motherland.
Every PCS is genetically corrupt, inferior and dishonest. They don’t know any rule but how to tease people. The PCS in Punjab are the most corrupt, mean and public enemy number one who are always bent upon earning some bucks by delaying files. They are sadists whose only motive is to enjoy good life. All PCS in Punjab are working against office decorum; I propose that they should be handed over to Punjab Police for their daily flogging. I wonder as to why no action is taken against PCS cabal including its president by the chief secretary, PCS association is behaving like an ugly trade union, they are corrupt to the core and I appeal to the DMG to cut them to size so that public could get some relief.
You are absolutely right. May Allah bless you brother.
stooges of British Raj are getting their goose cooked. feeling the heat. keep burning guys.
It is wrong to say that all pcs officers are corruptand inefficient. i know some of the DMG officer who failed in PCS Exam but qulified in CSS=DMG.It is true that a man from Baluchistan or FATA very low in merit can get DMG because of domicile but this is not true in case of PCS.what a pitty that Provicincial service officers hae no share at higher level in thier own province.
