| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as being without any force. The Tribunal found that the appellant, Muhammad Saleem Akhtar, was not in possession of the requisite qualifications for the post of Draftsman, as prescribed by the Service Tribunals Act, 1973. The appellant's argument that he had a vested right in the status of Draftsman was rejected because he did not hold the required Diploma in Draftsmanship. The Tribunal concluded that the order of reversion to the post of Tracer was justified and legal, as the appellant failed to produce the necessary qualifications upon request. The judgment emphasized that the appellant's reliance on grounds unrelated to his qualifications indicated an admission of his lack of eligibility for the Draftsman position. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeal of Muhammad Saleem Akhtar against his reversion from the position of Draftsman to Tracer due to insufficient qualifications as mandated by the Service Tribunals Act, 1973. The Tribunal reviewed the evidence and found that the appellant did not possess the Diploma in Draftsmanship required for his initial appointment. The decision highlighted the importance of adhering to qualifications set by recruitment rules, reinforcing that an individual's status cannot be maintained without meeting the essential criteria. The case underscores the legal principles surrounding employment rights and qualifications, serving as a precedent for future disputes regarding reversion and eligibility in civil service positions.
