ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Constitutional Court has dismissed a petition for leave to appeal challenging non-allocation of marks to 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-judge 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 stated 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 join her husband, Shehryar, in a case regarding an optional marriage, while asking the girl’s parents to approach the appropriate forum regarding their allegation 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 to the court that she was an adult and fully capable of making decisions about her life.
