The appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs. The departmental authority shall entertain the revision petition and dispose it of on its own merits. The court ruled that the petitioner's revision petition was competent and should be examined. The Tribunal's suggestion for amending the rules was left open for departmental consideration. The judgment emphasized the rights of civil servants under the Punjab Police (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1975, particularly focusing on Rule 12 regarding revision petitions. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Appeal No.837 of 1990, the Supreme Court of Pakistan examined the rights of civil servants in the police department regarding revision petitions under Rule 12 of the Punjab Police (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1975. The court granted leave to appeal to assess whether a civil servant had a vested right to file a revision petition and whether the Inspector-General of Police was obligated to entertain such petitions. The case arose after the respondent, an Assistant Sub-Inspector, faced dismissal and subsequently sought to challenge the decision through a revision petition. The Tribunal concluded that the Inspector-General possessed the power of revision and should have entertained the petition as such. The court ultimately dismissed the appeal but acknowledged the importance of procedural fairness and the rights of public servants in disciplinary matters. |
