| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed on the grounds of being time-barred. The appellant's services were terminated on May 27, 1978, and he was required to file a departmental appeal within one month. Since the appeal was filed on October 24, 1978, after 149 days, without a condonation of delay application, the tribunal ruled it was out of time. The mandatory timeline for filing the appeal was clearly defined, and the appellant failed to adhere to it, leading to the dismissal of the case. |
| Summary |
In the case of Appeal No. 63 of 1978, heard by the Service Tribunal of Sindh, the appellant Irshad Ali challenged the decision of the Secretary Food regarding the termination of his services as Assistant Director of Food. The tribunal found that the appellant did not file his departmental appeal within the stipulated one-month period as required by the Sind Service Tribunals Act. The case highlighted the importance of adhering to legal timelines in administrative appeals. The decision reinforces the need for timely action in service-related disputes and clarifies the procedural requirements for filing appeals in service tribunals. Legal practitioners must be diligent in ensuring compliance with such timelines to avoid dismissal of cases. The ruling emphasizes the tribunal's commitment to uphold procedural integrity, thereby impacting future cases involving administrative law and appeal processes. |
