| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the decision of the Federal Service Tribunal. The petitioner, Abdul Haq, was dismissed from service for gross misconduct after being found guilty of stripping naked in front of consumers during office hours. The court upheld the Tribunal's ruling, stating that the petitioner's claims regarding the inquiry process and evidence presented were insufficient to warrant interference with the Tribunal's decision. The court emphasized that the order by the Service Tribunal did not suffer from any legal infirmity, and therefore, the petition was dismissed. |
