| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed on the grounds that the appellant, Umar Gul Khattak, was absent without leave and had traveled abroad without proper authorization during the period of his granted leave. The tribunal found that the evidence presented indicated that Khattak had proceeded to Saudi Arabia, and the medical leave application he submitted was deemed unreliable. The tribunal upheld that the dismissal from service was justified as proper procedures had not been followed due to his absence. The decision emphasized the importance of adhering to leave protocols and the consequences of unauthorized absence for government servants. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the dismissal of Umar Gul Khattak, a civil servant, who was initially granted 60 days of earned leave. However, he applied for additional medical leave claiming serious illness, which was not sanctioned. The authorities claimed he traveled to Saudi Arabia during his leave without proper approval. The tribunal found that he had not provided sufficient evidence to support his claim of illness and that the medical chits he submitted could easily be obtained by anyone. The case highlights the strict enforcement of leave policies for government employees and the legal ramifications of unauthorized absences. The tribunal ruled that the dismissal was justified, ensuring that government servants adhere to established protocols. Keywords: government servants, leave policy, dismissal, misconduct, legal proceedings, unauthorized absence. |
