Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No, 64-R of 198 |
| Decision Date |
Oct 31, 1983 |
| Hearing Date |
Oct 31, 1983 |
| Decision |
The petition was directed against the judgment and order of the Federal Service Tribunal Islamabad, which rejected the Miscellaneous Application No. 69 of 1983 for the restoration of Appeal No. 117/R of 1980. The petitioner had been dismissed from service and challenged this dismissal, but his appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution as neither he nor his counsel appeared at the scheduled hearing. The court found that there were no plausible arguments presented to set aside the dismissal order of the Service Tribunal. Therefore, the petition for leave to appeal was dismissed. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a dispute concerning the dismissal of a petitioner, PEER MUHAMMAD, from service, which was challenged in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The court addressed the procedural aspects of the case, particularly focusing on the appeal's non-prosecution due to the absence of both the petitioner and his legal counsel during the scheduled hearing. Despite the petitioner's attempt to restore the appeal, the court upheld the Service Tribunal's decision, emphasizing the importance of procedural compliance in legal proceedings. The ruling underlines the necessity for petitioners and their legal representatives to be present and to provide substantive arguments to avoid dismissal of appeals. Keywords such as 'Supreme Court', 'Service Tribunal', 'legal representation', and 'appeal dismissal' are pivotal in understanding the implications of this case in the context of legal practices in Pakistan. |
