Mr. Haseeb Ahmed approached the Provincial Ombudsman Sindh Mr. Asad Ashraf Malik stating that he was son of a Police Officer who laid down his life in line of duty. He was appointed as Police Constable against shaheed (martyr) quota and was not considered for appointment as Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police, whereas 45 other persons were appointed as ASI under same quota and he was ignored & discriminated. He was eligible to be appointed as ASI as he fulfilled the required qualification. This was a glaring example of discrimination.
To redress grievance of the complainant Ombudsman Sindh. Mr. Asad Ashraf Malik issued directives to the authorities concerned to initiate enquiry against the Officers / Officials responsible for delaying the matter. Due to intervention of the Ombudsman, process and procedure of scrutiny by the concerned departments of Police were expedited and case of the complainant was sent to the appointment and promotion committee for consideration. Resultantly the committee found that complainant met the criteria laid down for appointment as ASI and was accordingly appointed.
