Its not the words which matter, rather its the idea.

A friend of mine told me that BENAZIR INCOME SUPPORT had inducted new staff without interview and that is what NAB is planning to do aswel

This is impossible in the case of NAB. They have clearly mentioned in the advertisement that further shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and that's what they will have to follow. Otherwise anybody can take them to court for that.

it is related to psychology of people nothing to do with length, words

NAB will have to follow the guidelines in true letter and spirit issued by Establishment Division Govt of Pakistan. Even the NAB has mentioned Establishment Division pursuance in its Press Release. The interview carries 30% weightage which has decisive role in the presence of tough competition during written examination. In case of non-compliance, the whole process will be halted very easily by court of law.

It won't be so. The circular that you are referring to applies only to govt bodies governed by the Civil Service Rules 1973. NAB, however, is not subject to these rules and its employee-organization relationship is governed by its own Act. Simply put, this particular circular does NOT apply to NAB and its recruitment process.

BUT THIS IS MY LEGAL OPINION, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT.

PRESS RELEASES

Date: 4-Apr-2015
Title: Press Release - NTS to recruit 135 Officers

ISLAMABAD, April 4, 2015: In line with the directions of Establishment Division, Government of Pakistan, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) assigned National Testing Service (NTS) to recruit 135 Officers comprising 01 Additional Director (BS-19), 29 Deputy Directors (BS-18), 58 Assistant Directors (BS-17) and 47 Junior Investigation Officers (JIO) (BS-16) transparently on merit.

National Testing Service (NTS) gave advertisement for recruitments of 135 posts of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from BS-16 to BS-19 in national newspapers as well as placed NAB Advertisement at NTS Website. National Testing Service (NTS) received 45372 applications against 135 posts of National Accountability Bureau (NAB). National Testing Service (NTS) after scrutiny of applications conducted written tests throughout the country and short listed 1531 candidates for psychological tests against 135 posts of BS-16-BS-19.

Now, National Testing Service (NTS) has called 1531 candidates against the 135 posts of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from BS-16 to BS-19 for psychological tests on Sunday, March 5, 2015 as per criteria of 1:10 ratio of top merit for each position.

What your legal opinion say about the bold area of above mentioned Press Release issued by NAB?

and visit the following link to further information regarding direction of Establishment Division. It is very clearly written in the circular that it would apply to Ministries, Divisions, Sub-ordinate offices, Autonomous, Semi-Autonomous bodies, Corporations, companies & Authorities. And i am sure that Autonomous, Semi-Autonomous bodies, Corporations, companies & Authorities are not governed by the Civil Servant Act 1973 instead these organizations have their own rules, regulations & Act.

Firstly, I would myself prefer that the interview is weighed. Still, it doesn't change the fact that it won't be.

NAB is hiring in line with the instructions issued to it by the Establishment Division. Now, the establishment division has issued a circular that gives guidelines on how to hire. The process under this new circular depends on a committee formed under the Civil Service Rules 1973, which do not apply to NAB, so NAB cannot possibly adopt the procedure.

If you ask everybody to do X by specifically using Y, and A is not allowed to do Y and you do not either have the power to permit Y to A, then simple syllogic reasoning would have it that A is NOT bound by your instructions.

Again, it's my legal OPINION AND MAY BE WRONG. But, that was all I could tell you for now. All the best, cheers!

Now, National Testing Service (NTS) has called 1531 candidates against the 135 posts of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from BS-16 to BS-19 for psychological tests on Sunday, March 5, 2015 as per criteria of 1:10 ratio of top merit for each position.


Why they have mentioned "as per criteria". The criteria as per circular is to shortlist 1:5 ratio of top merit for interview.
So in my opinion they have somewhat fulfilled the criteria as they have clearly mentioned and now they can shortlist 1:1 candidate for each post or as the case may be.

NAB is autonomous body like dozens other autonomous bodies. All the autonomous bodies following the establishment circular in connection with the fresh recruitment. In addition to that all the autonomous bodies / semi-autonomous bodies / Corporations / companies / Authorities are not regulated by Civil servant act 1973 but still they are bound to follow as per the spirit of the establishment circular. Concentrate over the subject and theme of the circular, i again paste the link below:
