| Decision |
The Service Tribunal found that the appellant, Muhammad Ayub, was dismissed from service based on unsubstantiated charges. The Tribunal highlighted that the only evidence against the appellant came from Superintendent of Police Mr. Naqi Zaidi, whose testimony was not based on personal knowledge but rather relied on statements from witnesses who later retracted their claims. The Tribunal determined that the charges could not be treated as substantiated, leading to the decision to set aside the dismissal order and allow the appeal. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the appeal of Muhammad Ayub against his dismissal from the Sindh Police under the West Pakistan (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules. The Service Tribunal scrutinized the inquiry process and found significant flaws in the evidence presented. The charges were primarily based on the testimony of a single witness, Superintendent of Police Naqi Zaidi, who lacked personal knowledge and relied on statements from other witnesses that were later recanted. The Tribunal ruled that the evidence was insufficient to uphold the charges, thus reinstating Ayub's position. This case underscores the importance of credible evidence in disciplinary actions within civil services, emphasizing fairness and due process.
