| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petitioner's appeal against the Punjab Service Tribunal's decision regarding his compulsory retirement. The petitioner was a civil servant who failed to report back after a period of deputation with the Government of Saudi Arabia. The Court found that the petitioner was duly informed of his obligations under the terms of his deputation and that the actions taken by the Government of Punjab were in accordance with the rules. The refusal to extend the deputation was justified, and the Tribunal's findings were upheld. Consequently, the petition was deemed without merit, and leave to appeal was refused. |
