ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Constitutional Court has issued a notice to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government regarding the dismissal of employees appointed during the interim government.
“The hiring of my client was carried out in full compliance with all the requirements of the caretaker government,” argued lawyer Khushal Khan, adding that the current KP government dismissed these employees upon assuming power.
Justice Hasan Rizvi noted that the provincial assembly had passed the Employee Dismissal Act. The KP Employee Removal Bill 2025 was passed in January, requiring the provincial government to dismiss certain government employees appointed during the interim government’s tenure in 2023.
According to the legislation, employees who have been “illegally hired by the interim government” in 2023 will be fired from their jobs. Following the adoption of the bill, relevant institutions and departments issued notices regarding the dismissal of employees.
The bill provides that a six-member committee will be formed under the chairmanship of the Establishment Secretary.
