Decision Date Jul 19, 1982
Hearing Date
Decision The appeal filed by Saghir Ahmad under section 5 of the Punjab Service Tribunal Act, 1974, has been dismissed. The Tribunal found that the retirement order issued by the competent authority, Mr. Mahboob Ahmad, was lawful and did not violate any conditions stipulated under the Punjab Civil Servants Act, 1974. The appellant's failure to demonstrate any flaw in the retirement process, combined with the fulfillment of all requisite conditions for retirement, led to the conclusion that the appeal lacked merit. Consequently, the decision to retire the appellant was upheld, and they were entitled to all pension benefits post-retirement.
Summary In the case of Ch. Saghir Ahmad vs. The Member (Revenue Establishment), Board of Revenue, Punjab, the Service Tribunal addressed the legality of the retirement order issued to the appellant. The case centered around the interpretation of the Punjab Civil Servants Act (VIII of 1974) and the Provisional Constitution Order (1 of 1981). The Tribunal emphasized that the appellant had completed the requisite 25 years of service, qualifying for pension benefits, and that the retirement order was issued in the public interest by a competent authority. The appeal was dismissed due to the lack of meritorious grounds, reaffirming the importance of adhering to procedural guidelines in administrative decisions. This case highlights the balance between employee rights and administrative discretion within public service law, making it a significant reference point for similar future disputes.
