Case Number Civil Appeal No.5-Q of 1987
Decision Date Sep 26, 1989
Hearing Date
Decision The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, concluding that there was no justification for the expunction of the adverse remarks made by the Balochistan High Court regarding the appellant's conduct and performance as a Civil Servant. The court found that the remarks were substantiated by documentary evidence and were appropriate given the circumstances. The appellant's termination was upheld, and the court noted that the adverse comments were based on credible materials presented in the case.
Summary This case revolves around the appeal of Muhammad Hadi, who challenged the termination of his services as a Senior Scientific Officer in a research program funded by the American Government. The Supreme Court of Pakistan examined whether the adverse remarks made by the Balochistan High Court during the dismissal of his Constitutional Petition were extraneous and unjustified. The Court found that the remarks were well-founded, based on evidence and documentation that highlighted the appellant's inefficiency and misconduct. The program, intended to improve agricultural practices in Balochistan, was terminated due to the appellant's behavior, which was deemed detrimental to the project. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming the decision to terminate the appellant's employment and the remarks made against him. This case underscores the importance of accountability in public service and the implications of professional conduct on employment status.
