English translation of the principle

The challenged judgment's conclusion that the post to which the appellant seeks to have his job title changed may only be filled by appointment after fulfilment of the legally prescribed conditions, and that appointment to public posts is among the matters of expediency assessed by the administrative authority in accordance with the public interest and the proper functioning of the public service, and its ruling that the action is inadmissible on the basis that the administrative authority's refusal to grant the request does not constitute a negative decision amenable to challenge by annulment, accords with the correct application of the law. This is not altered by what the appellant raised concerning equal treatment with others who were promoted. Reason therefor. - 138 - Administrative
Arabic original
انتهاء الحكم المطعون فيه إلى أن الوظيفة التي يطلب الطاعن تعديل مسماه الوظيفي إليها لا تُشغل إلا عن طريق التعيين بعد توافر الشروط المقررة قانوناً وأن التعيين في الوظائف العامة من الملاءمات التي تقدرها جهة الإدارة وفقاً للصالح العام وحسن سير المرفق العام وقضى بعدم قبول الدعوى استناداً إلى أن امتناع جهة الإدارة عن إجابة الطلب لا يشكل قراراً سلبياً مما يقبل الطعن عليه بالإلغاء يكون قد وافق صحيح القانون. لا يغير من ذلك ما أثاره الطاعن بشأن مساواته بآخرين تمت ترقيتهم. علة ذلك. - ١٣٨ - الإداري
