ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Constitutional Court has dismissed a petition for leave to appeal challenging the non-allocation of marks for Shahadat-ul-Alamia in the appointment of a Qari (BPS-12), thereby upholding the decision of the Peshawar High Court.
According to the written detailed judgment approved for reporting, a two-member bench comprising Justice Ali Baqar Najafi and Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha announced the verdict after hearing FCPLA No. 338 of 2025 filed by Shamshuddin. The petitioner had challenged the October 23, 2025 judgment of the Mingora Bench of the Peshawar High Court.
The bench further observed that the prescribed qualification for Qari (BPS-12) was a bachelor’s degree along with a certificate in Qirat from a recognized institution, as clearly provided under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1989, and relevant government notifications.
Love marriage case
The FCC on Tuesday allowed Maria to go with her husband, Shehryar, in a case relating to a marriage of choice, while directing the girl’s parents to approach the relevant forum regarding their claim of a fake marriage.
The case was heard by a two-member bench headed by Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi. During the proceedings, Maria told the court that she had not been abducted and had married Shehryar of her own free will. She categorically stated before the court that she was an adult and fully capable of making decisions about her life.
