ISLAMABAD: The federal government has decided to file a review petition in the Supreme Court against annulling the Sacked Employees (Reinstatement) Ordinance Act (SERA) 2010.
According to the details, the federal government has decided to file a review petition in the SC. In this regard the attorney general office
will seek time from the apex court for filing the review.
As per rules, a time of two weeks
will be sought from the SC for filing a review petition into SC’s verdict of declaring the Sacked Employees Act, 2010 as void.
The employees, who have lost their jobs following the orders of the Apex Court, have already filed review petitions for reinstat
ement of their services.
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Mushir Alam on August 17 declared the Sacked Employees (Reinstatement) Act, 2010 as unconstitutional after it was enacted for reinstating the employees who were appointed from Nov 1, 1993, till Nov 30, 1996, and were sacked by the government from Nov 1, 1996, till Oct 12, 1999.
The verdict, auth
ored by Justice Mushir Alam on his last day in the office, says that it is the duty of the Supreme Court to safeguard the rights and interests o
f citizens. Because
the constitutional rights of the employees who have invested decades of their lifetime into the service of
the country have been violated outright through the 2010 Act.
