| Decision |
The termination of the appellants' services was upheld as valid and lawful. The Service Tribunal found that the appellants were appointed on political grounds without following the proper selection procedures, rendering their appointments void ab initio. The Tribunal emphasized that the principles of law and natural justice were not adhered to in the termination process, but ultimately, the evidence indicated that the appellants were not qualified for the positions they held. Thus, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal with no order as to costs. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the termination of services of two individuals, NAVEED AKBAR and another, who were appointed as Assistant Sub-Inspectors of Police in Sindh. The Service Tribunal examined the legality of their appointments, which were allegedly influenced by political connections rather than merit. The Tribunal found that the appointments lacked adherence to the Sindh Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1973, specifically regarding misconduct related to political influence. The Tribunal ultimately upheld the termination, affirming that the appellants' appointments were void from the outset due to their lack of qualifications and the improper processes followed in their hiring. This case highlights the importance of meritocracy in civil service recruitment and the need for adherence to legal frameworks governing public employment. |
