| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as time-barred. The appellant failed to demonstrate that he was bona fide pursuing a remedy in the High Court, as the constitutional petition was abated before the Sind Service Tribunal came into power. The Tribunal ruled that the proper remedy was to file an appeal within 12 months of the establishment of the Tribunal, which the appellant did not accomplish. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeal filed by Idrees Ahmed Khan against the Chief Engineer, Irrigation Sukkur Region, concerning three punishments awarded to him. The Service Tribunal ruled on the matter of limitation, stating that the appellant's appeal was time-barred due to the abatement of his previous constitutional petition. The case highlights the importance of adhering to the timelines set forth in the Sind Service Tribunals Act of 1973 and the Limitation Act of 1908. This decision underscores the Tribunal's exclusive jurisdiction and the necessity for litigants to pursue their remedies promptly. The ruling serves as a significant precedent for future cases involving procedural timelines and the rights of employees in service-related disputes. |
