description: "Most outlets reported that the Supreme Court restored the seniority of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government employees and overturned a Service Tribunal ruling. They generally highlighted the court's decision to accept the employees' appeals and direct the restoration of their seniority. Dunya News added that the court ruled administrative delays could not deny legal rights, while 24 News HD and Hum News English noted the court’s directive to implement seniority lists in \"letter and spirit\" and \"as originally determined,\" respectively. The Associated Press of Pakistan and Daily Times used similar phrasing, emphasizing the court’s observation that the state could not benefit from its own delays."
