Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 628 |
| Decision Date |
Feb 12, 1984 |
| Hearing Date |
Feb 12, 1984 |
| Decision |
The petition was directed against the judgment and order of the Federal Service Tribunal, dated 24th August, 1983, which dismissed the appeal on the grounds of limitation. The petitioner, who served as Stenographer in E.M.E. Workshop since 1st December 1962, claimed selection grade based on seniority but was denied due to procedural issues regarding the new pay-scales. The Tribunal found the Department's attitude illogical but upheld the dismissal due to the petitioner's failure to file the appeal within the required timeframe. No valid reasons were presented to overturn the Tribunal's order, leading to the refusal of leave to appeal and the dismissal of the petition. |
| Summary |
In the case of SUBHANUDDIN Vs. DIRECTOR, ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, the Supreme Court of Pakistan dealt with a civil petition regarding the dismissal of an appeal based on limitation by the Federal Service Tribunal. The petitioner, SUBHANUDDIN, had served in the E.M.E. Workshop and sought a selection grade based on his seniority. The case highlighted the procedural aspects of civil services and limitations in filing appeals. The court determined that the petitioner failed to adhere to the necessary timelines for appeal submission, as the relevant order from the Ministry of Defence was communicated to him on March 14, 1981, and the appeal was not filed until September 2, 1981. The court found no substantial grounds to interfere with the Tribunal's decision, resulting in the dismissal of the petition. This case underscores the importance of adhering to procedural rules in civil service matters and the implications of deadlines in legal appeals. |
