Clerk mafia has taken over PPSC, observes LHC

LAHORE:THE Lahore High Court on Thursday directed the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) to allow a candidate to take examination for post of Planning Department deputy director.

Bilal Shaukat had filed the petition and contended that the PPSC had rejected his application for advertised post on a plea that his experience certificate was not duly signed by the authorities.

A deputy director legal of the PPSC appeared before the court on Thursday and said that the petitioner had not approached any officer concerned of the PPSC and his application was rejected by a clerk.

At this, Justice Muhammad Khalid Mehmood Khan remarked that it appeared the clerk mafia had taken over the charge in the PPSC. He observed, “PPSC is a responsible institution conducting examinations of officers above grade-17 but its working is in bad condition.”

Justice Khan further remarked that working of the PPSC was in the hand of inexperienced persons.

Allowing the petition, the judge directed the PPSC secretary to entertain the application of the petitioner and allow him to take examination for the advertised post within seven days.
