Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 1935-L of 1 |
| Decision Date |
Nov 22, 2000 |
| Hearing Date |
|
| Decision |
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to consider whether the petitioners could legally claim to be governed by the rules that prevailed at the time of their induction into service, or if they had no vested rights and would be subject to amended rules. The Court also addressed whether the appeal suffered from undue delay and misjoinder of parties, and whether a joint appeal was competent. The Court declined to grant interim relief as it could hinder departmental functions, indicating that the main appeal would be scheduled for hearing within six months. |
| Summary |
In the case concerning the Service Tribunals Act and the Constitution of Pakistan, the Supreme Court of Pakistan reviewed a Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal regarding the rights of civil servants in relation to the rules applicable at their induction into service. The petitioners argued that they should be governed by the original rules, while the respondents contended that the appeal was flawed due to improper institution and joint representation issues. The Court's decision to grant leave to appeal highlighted the complexities of labor law and administrative justice within the framework of Pakistani law. This case emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal rights of employees and the implications of rule changes over time, making it significant for ongoing discussions in labor rights, administrative law, and judicial review in Pakistan. |
