| Decision |
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by Maqsood Ahmad against his retirement order under section 12 (ii) of the Punjab Civil Servants Act. The decision was based on the finding that the appellant had completed more than 25 years of qualifying service, counting his time as Patwari towards pension eligibility. The Tribunal upheld the authority of the Director Land Records to issue the retirement order, ruling that the appellant's arguments regarding the competence of the authority were not substantiated by the law. The appeal was dismissed on both merits and legal points, with no costs awarded. |
