The tribunal upheld the termination of Furrukh Ameen's services during his probation period, ruling that the competent authority could terminate a civil servant's employment if their work was deemed unsatisfactory. The decision clarified that the termination was not linked to any misconduct or inquiry, but rather based solely on performance evaluations. The tribunal emphasized that the provisions of the Punjab Civil Servants Act allowed for such actions during probation and dismissed the appeal, affirming the legal grounds for the termination under Section 10 of the Act. |
