| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petitioner's appeal against the Federal Service Tribunal's judgment dated 25-5-2000. The petitioner, who had retired from service on 1-7-1984, claimed benefits from the upgradation of his post, which was notified in 1994. The Court held that the petitioner had no locus standi to benefit from the upgradation as he had no cause of action post-retirement and the appeal was time-barred. The Court found no legal infirmity in the Tribunal's order, hence the petition was dismissed and leave to appeal was refused. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Petition No.367-K of 2000, the Supreme Court of Pakistan examined the appeal of Mukhtar Ahmed Siddiqui against the dismissal of his case by the Federal Service Tribunal. The petitioner argued that he was entitled to benefits from the upgradation of his position after retirement. However, the Court found that the petitioner had no legal standing as he had retired long before the upgradation was implemented. The Tribunal's decision not to consider the appeal due to the lack of timely filing and cause of action was upheld. This ruling emphasizes the importance of timely legal action and defined standing in administrative matters. Keywords such as 'service tribunal', 'legal standing', 'retirement benefits', and 'administrative law' are crucial for understanding the implications of this case. |
