| Decision |
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Punjab Service Tribunal, which dismissed the petitioner's appeal as incompetent and non-maintainable due to the non-joinder of necessary parties. The court emphasized that the petitioner failed to implead other professors who would be adversely affected by the outcome of the appeal, thus contravening the procedural rules. Consequently, the petitioner's argument was found to be without merit, leading to the dismissal of the petition. |
| Summary |
In the case involving Dr. Iqbal Ahmad Chaudhry, a petition was filed against the Punjab Service Tribunal's decision regarding seniority matters affecting his promotion from Assistant Professor to Professor of Dermatology. The Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled that the appeal was incompetent due to the failure to include necessary parties whose seniority would be impacted by the case's outcome. The judgment highlighted the importance of proper procedural adherence in tribunal appeals and reinforced the need for all affected parties to be included, showcasing the court's commitment to fair representation in legal proceedings. This ruling serves as a critical reference for similar cases concerning administrative law and the procedural requirements for appeals in Pakistan's legal framework. |
