The Supreme Court of Pakistan declined to interfere with the decision of the Service Tribunal, which had set aside the cancellation order of Nisar Ahmed's appointment. The case revolved around the legality of his appointment and subsequent cancellation by the Competent Authority. The Court found that the Service Tribunal had thoroughly examined the record and concluded that the cancellation was made for extraneous reasons. Hence, the petitioner's appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision that the appointment was valid and should not have been cancelled under the circumstances presented. |
