2. As is known, Punjab Public Service Commission is the sole forum for

recruitment of officials/officers in BS-12 to BS-20 for various Government

Departments of Punjab. Due to a very busy schedule of examinations/tests and

interviews in the months of April & May, 2013, Punjab Public Service Commission

will not be able to provide any of its employees to perform duty in the

forthcoming Election-2013.

3. The record will also show that due to the peculiar and sensitive
nature of the functions performed by the Punjab Public Service Commission, its
staff is never deputed for Election Duties.

Rs.3.440 (M) vide S&GAD No. SO(Dev)1-260/208, dated 17-08-2009. Accordingly the
work was executed and complete during 2009-10. However, due to following reasons the
cost of the scheme was increased:-
 The building of Punjab Public Service Commission comprises of 3-blocks i.e.
Chairman Block (Two storey building), Rashid Block (3-Storey Building)
and main old building.

 While preparing the rough cost estimate, the electric load of Old block
(already declared dangerous) was not included and provision of only one
ATS panel was incorporated.

 However, due to shortage of office accommodation, the old block is still


under occupation of PPSC authorised. Hence, provision of one number ATS
panels was not sufficient to meet with the requirement of total load of the
building. Hence, two additional ATS panel were installed, due to which the
cost of the scheme was increased. The detail of the same is as under:-

Additional cost i) ATS Panel = 0.518 (M)


ii) 4 core cable 120 mm = 0.350 “
iii) Earthing = 0.075 “

Subject: REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF AUDIT COPY IN RESPECT OF


CREATION OF SIX POSTS OF ASSISTANT DIRECTORS AND ONE
POST OF ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (RESEARCH) IN THE PUNJAB
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION.

Respected Sir,

The main function of the Commission is to conduct tests/examinations and


interviews for recruitment to Provincial Services and posts connected with the affairs of the
Province. The Commission vide minutes of the Full Commission Meeting dated
04-11-2006, decided that in all cases short listing should be done after detailed scrutiny of
applications and determining the eligibility of the candidates in compliance of Governor’s
orders dated 27-09-2006 wherein the Chairman, Punjab Public Service Commission was
directed to review the Commission’s policy of making the candidates appear in the written
test without complete scrutiny of their applications.

To determine the eligibility of the candidates through detailed scrutiny,


present supervisory staff is not sufficient especially in such cases like Assistant Sub
Inspectors in Police Department, Provincial Management Services (Competitive
Examination) and Lecturers in Education Department where number of applications are
received from 50000 to 60000.

Accordingly, Finance Department vide S.N.E. proposal bearing


No.A.O.PPSC-2007/163 dated 08-05-2007 was requested to create 6 posts of Assistant
Directors and one post of Assistant Director (Research) enabling Commission to complete
the recruitment process within the stipulated time period.

Finance Department very kindly has acceded to the proposal of the Punjab
Public Service Commission and has created the requested posts vide advice dated
15-05-2007. It is evident from the advice that Finance Department has created these posts
to make up the deficiency of supervisory staff and to meet the increased workload in the
Punjab Public Service Commission.

Despite the clear advice of the Finance Department, Audit Copy has not
been got issued by the S & GA Department by interlinking this issue with the upgradation of
the posts of Directors and Deputy Directors. Moreover, the Section Officer (Cab-I), Govt.
of the Punjab has raised objection against the post of Assistant Director, keeping in view the
fact that the post of Deputy Directors/Deputy Secretary are also in BS-17 and being filled in
by the promotion from the incumbents of the posts of the Superintendents/Private
Secretaries at the

Contd….P/2
-2-
ratio 80 : 20 respectively.

It is humbly prayed to your honour to personally look into the matter and
this Audit Copy may be got issued with the change of nomenclature of the post of Assistant
Director into Deputy Director. This act of kindness will not only give a great incentive of
promotion of almost 50 low grades employees but also simplify the Promotion/
Appointment against these posts as Service Rules for the post of Deputy Director has
already been framed. We, Superintendents of the Commission, hereby undertake that if the
post of Deputy Director is upgraded to BS-18 at any stage, will not create any problem and
will accept the nomenclature of the post what so ever it will be. This undertaking can be
reflected in the orders at the time of promotion of a Superintendent to the post of Deputy
Director.

All the low grade employees will be highly grateful to you.

Subject: S.N.E. (NEW) PROPOSALS FOR THE YEAR 2007–08

CREATION OF SIX POSTS OF ASSISTANT DIRECTORS

13. The Governor of the Punjab ordered the Commission vide order dated 27-9-2006
that the Chairman, PPSC should review the Commission’s policy of making the candidates appear
in the written test without complete scrutiny of their applications. In compliance with Governor’s
order, the Commission decided that in all cases shortlisting should be done after detailed scrutiny
of applications and determining the eligibility of the candidates. To determine the eligibility of the
candidates through detailed scrutiny of their applications, present supervisory staff i.e. Deputy
Directors is not sufficient especially in such cases like those of A.S.Is. in Police Department, PMS
(Competitive Examinations) Lecturer in Education Department where number of applications
received are upto 25000–32000. Recently the Commission advertised the posts of Senior Subject
Specialist, Headmaster/Deputy Headmaster, Headmistress/Deputy Headmistress and Subject
Specialist in the Education Department against which 63,258 applications have been received. The
number of applications are increasing day by day due to increase in literacy rate in the Punjab.
During the last 13 years the workload increase has been phenomenal.

14. Recruitment work of all the departments of Punjab Government has been
distributed amongst Recruitment Branches in the Commission. According to PPSC Organizational
Chart a Recruitment Branch consists of the Following Staff:-
Deputy Director 01
Superintendent 01
Stenographer 01
Assistant 03
Senior Clerk 01
Junior Clerk 02
Naib Qasid 01

15. Each Recruitment Branch in the Commission has been allocated recruitment work
of different Departments of Government of the Punjab and in each department there are many
recruitment cases of different pay scales which a recruitment branch has to process
simultaneously in a stipulated time frame. Due to large number of applications against different
advertisements of the Commission , it has become practically impossible to cope with the task
without providing additional supervisory staff. For instance, in response to Commission’s
advertisement for the posts of Senior Subject Specialist, Headmaster/Deputy Headmaster,
Headmistress/Deputy Headmistress and Subject Specialist in the Education Department 63,258
applications have been received. To determine the eligibility of all candidates through detailed
scrutiny of their applications and finalize the same, recruitment branch dealing with this case will
take more than 4 years whereas stipulated time period is nine months where a written examination
is to be held and 3 months where there is no written examinations.
-4-

16. To complete the recruitment process within the shortest possible time period,
additional supervisory staff is required immediately. It is pertinent to mention here that the post of
Assistant Director does not exist in the present service structure of PPSC whereas in all other
Provincial Departments as well as in FPSC, post of Assistant Director exists with the posts of
Deputy Directors & Directors. In order to meet the shortfall of supervisory staff in PPSC and to
complete the service structure, 6 posts of Assistant Directors (BS-17) may be created.

17. Accordingly, S.N.E. for creation of six posts of Assistant Director (BS-17) in the
PPSC is added for approval please.

CREATION OF ONE POST OF ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (RESEARCH)

18. Research Wing of PPSC consists of One Director Research (BS-18) and Two
Research Assistants. One post of Assistant Director Research is proposed to be created to Assist
the Director Research and also to open the promotion channel for Research Assistants.

19. Accordingly, S.N.E. for creation of one post of Assistant Director Research in the

Subject:- STREAMLING OF PROCEDURES TO IMPROVE THE PACE OF


EXECUTION OF DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES – POWERS TO
RE-APPROPRIATE APPROVED DEVELOPED SCHEMS WITHIN THE
SECTOR

29. The Deputy Secretary (Monitoring), Finance Department vide circular letter dated
7th August, 2006 at Page-34/Cor. (PUC), has been directed to invite attention to Finance
Department’s notification No. even, dated 30th June, 2004, on the subject as cited above, whereby
it was clarified that the Administrative Departments and Officers in Category – I were competent
to sanction re-appropriation of funds of development schemes, within their sectoral allocations, in
the prescribed manner, vide serial No. 5 under Part–I – Powers Common to all Departments, of
the Second Schedule to the Delegation of Financial Powers Rules, 1990 read with para 15.3(b)
(xi) of the Punjab Budget Manual, without seeking prior approval of the proposed re-
appropriations from P&D and Finance Department. It was further clarified vide F.D’ letter No.
even, dated 14th May, 2005 that the connotation “Approved Schemes” shall only include
‘development schemes reflected in the ADP/Development Budget as per the Schedule of the
Authorized Expenditures’.

30. Since the issuance of the aforesaid instructions, a number of instances have come
to the notice of the Finance Department where the designated authorities made re-appropriations
of funds of development schemes in deviation of the prescribed procedure and laid down
conditions. Besides floating the prescribed procedure and conditions, such irregular re-
appropriations have, interalia, created immense difficulties for the Finance Department while
finalizing the Revised Estimates for both the year 2004-2005 and 2005-2006. Some of the
irregularities committed while making re-appropriations during previous years were as under:-

 Re-appropriations were made from the funds provided through supplementary


grants.

 While sanctioning re-appropriation of funds, from one scheme to other, the


concerned authorities failed to observe the laid down conditions/procedure as
prescribed in para 15.3(b)(vi) and (xi) of the Budget Manual.

 The funds re-appropriated from a scheme were restored back subsequently in


violation of the provisions of para 15.3(b)(iii) of the Manual ibid.

 Funds so re-appropriated were neither incorporated in the Second Statement of


Excesses and Surrenders, submitted by the Administrative Departments, nor were
the copies of the sanctions endorsed/provided to the Finance.

P.T.O.

31. Given that, it has been directed to reiterate the relevant provisions regulating the
re-appropriations of development schemes within their sectoral allocations as under:-

a) Re-appropriation will not be made except for approval schemes;

b) The approved cost of the scheme will not be exceeded, through re-appropriation
by more than 10% of the amount for which the scheme has been administratively
approved;

c) No appropriation will be made from the funds sanctioned through supplementary


grant/s;

d) No authority subordinate to the one which reduced an allocation will increase such
reduced allocations by means of re-appropriations;

e) Re-appropriation will not be made so as to divert the provision from specified new
items to other purposes;

f) Funds so re-appropriated will invariably be incorporated in the 2 nd Statement of


Excesses & Surrenders under endorsement to P&D and Finance Department.

g) It will be ensured that 2nd Statement of Excesses & Surrenders is received in the
Finance Department by 31st March of the given financial year.

h) All re-appropriations made, in the aforesaid manner, shall promptly by intimated to


the P&D and Finance Department, for the purpose of monitoring of utilization of
ADP funds.

32. It has been requested to strictly adhere to the aforesaid conditions while
sanctioning re-appropriations of development schemes within their sectoral allocations.

Subject: UPGRADATION OF THE POSTS OF DIECTORS FROM BS-18 TO BS-19
AND THE POSTS OF DEPUTY DIRECTORS FROM BS-17 TO BS-18

The Director Recruitment-I, Director Recruitment-II, Director Examinations &


Director Legal-cum-Law Officer and all Deputy Directors, PPSC have filed a representation at
Page-1/Cor. (PUC) for upgradation of the posts of Directors and Deputy Directors in PPSC.
They have stated that four posts of Directors i.e. Director Recruitment-I, Director Recruitment-II,
Director Examinations & Director Legal-cum-Law Officer in the Punjab Public Service
Commission are of BS-18 whereas in all other Departments of the Punjab Government as well as
in the Federal Public Service Commission, the posts of Directors are of BS-19. Likewise the posts
of Deputy Directors in all other Departments of the Punjab Government as well as in the Federal
Public Service Commission are of BS-18 whereas the posts of Deputy Directors in the Punjab
Public Service Commission are of BS-17 which is a clear discrimination with the Directors and
the Deputy Directors of the Punjab Public Service Commission (copies of the Service Rules of
Punjab Agriculture Department, Social Welfare & Zakat Department and Federal Public Service
Commission are at Pages-3 to 12/Cor for ready reference).

2. They have further requested that the functions and duties of the Directors and
Deputy Directors of the Federal Public Service Commission as well as of the Punjab Public
Service Commission are the same whereas manpower from Director to Naib Qasid in Punjab
Public Service Commission is 318 as compared to Federal Public Service Commission where
manpower from Director General to Naib Qasid is 542. Therefore, justice and propriety demand
that the posts of Directors and Deputy Directors of the Punjab Public Service Commission should
be brought at par in status as well as in basic pay scale with the corresponding posts of Federal
Public Service Commission and other Departments of the Punjab Government.

3. Request of the officers is submitted for favourable consideration please.

4. Para – 1 to 3/N may kindly be perused.

5. All the Deputy Directors and Directors of PPSC vide their representation at Page-
1/Cor. (PUC) have requested to upgrade the posts of Deputy Director from BS-17 to BS-18 and
Director from BS-18 to BS-19 on the analogy of all other provincial departments and FPSC. The
request of the officers is based on discriminatory ground only that the posts of Deputy Director
and Directors may be brought at par in status as well as in basic pay scale with their counter parts
in all other provincial departments and FPSC.

6. Recently Governor of the Punjab ordered the Commission vide order dated
27-9-2006 that the Chairman, PPSC should review the Commission’s policy of making the
candidates appear in the written test without complete scrutiny of their applications. In
compliance with Governor’s order, the Commission vide minutes of the Full Commission Meeting
dated 4-11-2006 at Page-19/Cor. decided that in all cases shortlisting should be done after
detailed scrutiny of applications and determining the eligibility of the candidates. To determine the
eligibility of the candidates through detailed scrutiny of their applications, present supervisory
staff i.e. Deputy Directors is not sufficient especially in such cases like A.S.I. in Police
Department, PMS (Competitive Examinations) and Lecturer in Education Department where
number of applications are received upto 25000 – 32000. These numbers of applications are
increasing day by day due to increase in literacy rate in the Punjab. During the last 13 years
workload has highly been increased. A comparison of workload of 1994 and 2006 is as under:-
2006
1994
(Upto 30-11-2006)

No. of posts advertised. 2333 3972

No. of applications received. 43978 80224


No. of applications received for
3029 26675
Combined Competitive Examination

7. The above comparison shows that number of applications received during the year
2006 has been increased two times as compare to the year 1994. Para (h) Section 3 of PPSC
standing orders at Page-44/Cor. says that a Deputy Director/Wing Officer will disposed off 50
applications in case of non-technical posts and 30 applications in case of technical posts per day.
And in case number of applications are received upto 25000–30000 against an advertisement,
to determine the eligibility of all candidates, scrutiny of applications will take 20–24 months +
2–6 months for declaring result of written tests and conducting interviews. This will badly delay
recruitment process. Therefore, with present strength of Deputy Directors, it will be impossible
for the Commission to complete the recruitment process within stipulated time period which is
nine month where a written examination is to be held and 3 months where there is no written
examinations (Page-51/Cor.).
Contd…Page/3..

From Pre-Page

8. To complete the recruitment process within the stipulated time period, additional
supervisory staff is required immediately. It is pertinent to mention here that the post of Assistant
Director does not exist in the present service structure of PPSC whereas in all other provincial
departments as well as in FPSC post of Assistant Director exists with the posts of Deputy
Directors & Directors. Therefore, in order to meet the shortfall of supervisory staff and to
complete the service structure of PPSC, 6 posts of Assistant Director (BS-17) may be created in
the PPSC and the present posts of Deputy Directors and Directors may be upgraded from
BS-17 – 18 and BS-18 – 19 respectively. This reform in service structure will not only remove
discrimination pointed out by the Deputy Directors and Directors, PPSC but also increase the
performance of the said officers and in the long run, the lower staff will also get benefit due to
having their promotion quota for these posts. The proposed service structure in PPSC is as
under:-
(i) No change in pay scales of the employees in BS-1 to BS-16 as in each of the
Government Departments posts of Clerk, Assistant and Superintendent are
carrying one and the same scale.

(ii) 6 posts of Assistant Director (BS-17) may be created on regular basis, which
will be the feeding cadre for promotion to the post of Deputy Director BS-18.

(iii) Existing posts of Deputy Directors (BS-17) may be upgraded from


BS-17 to BS-18.

(iv) Existing posts of Directors (BS-18) may be upgraded from BS-18 to BS-19.

9. Government of the Punjab, Finance Department vide its letter dated 29-12-1997 at
Page-23/Cor. has delegated financial powers to the Chairman, PPSC. According to these
delegation of Financial Powers, the Chairman, PPSC stands empowered to create, upgrade/
downgrade and abolish any post (or change the nomenclature thereof subject to the following
conditions:-
(i) There shall not be any additional financial liability at any stage, and

(ii) There shall not be any violation of the general policy of the Government such as
ban on creation/upgradation of posts and other economy measures, etc, as
announced by the Government from time to time.

10. On changing the existing service structure as explained in para-8 above, additional
financial liability will be incurred, therefore, if approved, the Secretary (I&C), S&GAD may be
requested to approach the Finance Department for creation of 6 posts of Assistant Director
(BS-17) and upgradation of the posts of Deputy Directors from BS-17 to BS-18 and Directors
from BS-18 to BS-19 in PPSC. Subject to approval, draft ‘reference’ is added below for

M/1126/05, the Governor of the Punjab passed the following orders:-

“It is evident from the facts of the case that the Punjab Public
Service Commission has committed maladministration by not
allowing age relaxation to the candidate, Mr. Muhammad Afzal
Saffi, which was available to him under the rules being already a
contract appointee. The candidate has been allowed to appear in the
written test which he had cleared and was entitled to be
interviewed. In view of the foregoing, the Punjab Public Service
Commission is directed to hold the interview of the candidate and
send its recommendation to the Education Department for
consideration against the next available vacancy of Lecturer in
Urdu. The Chairman, PPSC should also review the Commission’s
policy of making the candidates appear in the written test without
completing scrutiny of their documents. The representation filed by
Muhammad Afzal Saffi against the order of Provincial Ombudsman
dated 31-12-2005, passed in complaint No. M/1125/05 is disposed

YEARS EXTENDABLE CONTRACT BASIS

155. Mr. Yousaf Kamal, Member, PPSC vide letter dated 19 th June, 2006 at Page-
31/Cor (PUC), has informed that during the course of conducting the interviews for the subject
noted post, on 17th June, 2006 the representative of the Department,
Mr. Muhammad Abbas while addressing the Chairman/undersigned and advisor
Mr. Muhammad Shafique Ajami, Associate Professor, Government College University, Lahore
informed that on the next date of interview i.e. 19 th June, 2006 one candidate
Mrs. Yasmin Farrukh will be appearing for interview. He informed and recommended that she was
already working as sub editor in the said Department for the last ten months, had experience, was
competent and she should be selected for the post of Editor which the Punjab Public Service
Commission was interviewing. It was stunning to hear such remarks and safarish from a
departmental representative who is obviously required to be totally impartial and above board.

156. This disclosure and recommendation/“safarish” of the Departmental Representative


was totally un-ethical, non-professional and violative of the norms and rules. His
recommendation/“Safarish” for a particular candidate attracts disciplinary action against him
under the E&D rules. Such a misconduct, dereliction of duty and massively illegal conduct by a
departmental representative/government servant merits immediate and serious disciplinary action
and punishment.

157. As the D.R. Mr. Abbas was biased, Mr. Yousaf Kamal, Member, PPSC had
requested Mr. Liaqat Ali Khan Niazi, Secretary/Director (Archives) on June 19, 2006 (day of
interviews) that the D.R. may be changed and replaced at once. The entire situation was also
explained to Mr. Liaqat Ali Khan Niazi. Mr. Yousaf Kamal, Member, PPSC has brought this
unbelievable offence to the notice of the Commission for taking appropriate action similarly.

Subject: PROFORMA PROMOTION POLICY

21. The Section Officer (REG–II), S&GAD vide circular letter dated
20th May, 2006 at Page-45/Cor. (PUC), has informed that the cases in which the Proforma
Promotion can be granted have been enumerated at sub para (III) of para 2 of the Promotion
Proforma Policy circulated vide No. SOR-II(S&GAD)2-59/78, dated
19th April, 2003 at Page-16/Cor.

22. The Proforma Promotion Policy is, however, silent about a situation where a
senior was conditionally recommended for promotion while his junior was recommended for
promotion to the same rank unconditionally in the same PSB meeting. The senior could not fulfill
the condition even after a lapse of 11 months from the date of his clearance by the Provincial
Selection Board the junior assumed the charge immediately after the issuance of promotion
notification. The senior would have otherwise become eligible for grant of proforma promotion
had he been deferred instead of conditional promotion. The senior had to assume charge of the
higher post after 11 months of the promotion of his junior, with immediate effect, thus losing the
financial benefits for the period and had to seek relief from the judicial fora.

23. In order to cater for the cases arising out of conditional promotion of civil servants
by PSB/DPC, the competent authority, in partial modification of the Proforma Promotion Policy
has been pleased to allow addition of the following sub-clause in Para 2 (III) of the Proforma
Promotion Policy at Page-17/Cor.:-

“v) In cases where on the recommendation of a PSB/DPC, a senior is conditionally


cleared for promotion and is able to assume charge of a higher post only after he
fulfills the condition and, in the meantime, the junior (cleared for regular
promotion) in the same meeting assumes charge of the higher post; the senior in
consequence of the fulfillment of the condition, shall be entitled for proforma
promotion from the date the junior is promoted.”

24. The above instructions should be brought to the notice of all concerned.

25. It is submitted that the addition has been incorporated in the relevant policy which
may kindly be seen at Page-17/Cor.

of Pakistan, Islamabad vide its communication dated 6th January, 2006 at Page-44/Cor. has
informed that the Federal Government observed that direct contact between political functionaries
of certain countries has been taken without regard to procedure laid down in the Rules. Direct
invitations have been accepted and also given at high political level. It has also been noticed that
mutual visits and MOUs between various educational institutions are being planned without
keeping the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the loop. In some cases, specific advice of the Foreign
Office is not being observed.

141. Accordingly, attention is invited to rule 13 of the Federal Government Rules of


Business, 1973 which provides that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be consulted on all
matters which affect foreign policy of Pakistan on the conduct of its foreign relations. At the
same, the instructions/guidelines for attendance of diplomatic functions/receptions and other
interaction with foreign diplomatic missions in Pakistan circulated vide D.O. letter dated 25th May,

7th January, 2006 at Page-5/Cor. received from Deputy Secretary (Regulations), S&GAD for
information and strict compliance, wherein it has been observed with concern that often the
Administrative Departments, while seeking advice from the Regulations Wing, S&GAD do not
observe the procedure as laid down in Rule 13 of the Punjab Government Rules of Business,
1974, read with para 5.13 of the Manual of Secretariat Instructions and fail to make out a self-
contained case duly supported by relevant documents. It has been observed that the references
received in the Regulations Wing for advice are very sketchy, sans necessary documents and do
not spell out the specific points of issue on which advice of the Regulations Wing is required. At
times hypothetical propositions are sent for obtaining advice.

9. There are innumerable instances where the Administrative Departments simply


forward copies of references received from the lower formations for obtaining advice without
properly examining such cases at their own level and without firming up their own point of views.
Consequently such deficiencies not only create hindrances in examining the cases, as back
references have to be made to the administrative departments for soliciting full facts, highlighting
issues involved and copies of necessary relevant documents for the their proper examination but
also result in inordinate delay in tendering advice by the Regulations Wing.

10. It has been requested that references may be made to the Regulations Wing in the
following manner:-

i. The reference should be self-contained duly supported by necessary relevant


documents.

ii. The points of issues on which advice is required should be clearly spelt out.

iii. When a case is referred back to an Administrative Department for furnishing


certain documents/information, the same may be provided to the Regulations Wing
expeditiously in accordance with the time schedule prescribed in Appendix-B of
para 1.10 of the Manual of Secretariat’s instructions, so as to ensure prompt
disposal of the case.

iv. The Administrative Department’s own view point alongwith justification/reasons


should be incorporated in terms of rule 13 of the Punjab Government Rules of

VARIOUS QUOTAS

141. The Secretary Regulations, S&GAD vide circular letter dated 20-7-2005 at Page-

to appointment under Rule 17-A of the Punjab Civil Servants (appointment & Conditions of
Service) Rules, 1974, and various quotas as mentioned in Recruitment Policy 2004. the issue has
been examined in the Regulations Wing, S&GAD, and it has been observed that under rule 17-A,
relief to the family of a deceased or invalidated/incapacitated civil servant by providing
employment to the widow/wife or one child of the said civil servant for which he/she possesses
the prescribed qualification and experience, has been provided. Under the rule ibid, this special
dispensation has the following two categories requiring different application viz a viz application
of ban on recruitment.

(i) For posts in BS-1 to 5


Rule 17-A of the rules ibid provides that one child or widow/wife of government
servant who dies while in service or is declared invalidated/incapacitated for
further service, shall be provided a job against posts in BS 1 to 5 in the department
in which the deceased government servant was working without observance of
formalities prescribed under the rules/procedure provided such child is otherwise
eligible for the post.

Since in such cases appointment in BS-1 to 5 is mandatory and is to be made


without observance of formalities prescribed under the rules, therefore, ban on
recruitment shall not be applicable in such cases.

(ii) For posts in BS-6 and above


In case of appointments against posts in BS-6 and above, the rule ibid provides
that one of the unemployed child or widow/wife of a government servant who dies
while in service or is declared invalidated/incapacitated for further service, who
possesses the prescribed qualification and experience may be given 10 additional
marks in the aggregate by Punjab Public Service Commission or by the apporpriate
selection board or committee provided he/she otherwise qualifies in the
test/examination and/or interview. This means that the additional marks can only be
granted while general recruitment in the relevant posts is being made.

As such, appointment under rule 17-A in this category can only be made when
general recruitment is made and general recruitment can be make when there is no
ban on recruitment. As such, ban on recruitment sahll be applicable in case of
appointment in BS-6 and above unless the ban is relaxed for general recruitment
