In this case, Muhammad Ayyaz, an Assistant Sub-Inspector, faced disciplinary action leading to his reversion to a lower rank.

Ultimately, the appellate authority reinstated Ayyaz in his original rank, demonstrating the necessity of upholding justice and due process in civil service disciplinary actions. Key themes include the integrity of inquiry processes, the impact of hierarchical influence in law enforcement, and the protection of civil service members' rights.
