Appeal No. 32/1990 |

Oct 15, 1990 |
| Hearing Date |
Oct 01, 1990 |
| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the appellant's fresh petition after more than eight years to reopen the same issue was deemed uncalled for. The orders passed by the Secretary Food Department based on this petition were found to be without jurisdiction and void ab initio. The Tribunal upheld the Chief Secretary's decision on fixing the appellant's seniority correctly as Assistant Food Controller from the date of his promotion. |
| Summary |
In the case of Ghulam Muhammad A. Memon vs. Government of Sindh, the Service Tribunal addressed issues of seniority within the Sindh Civil Servants framework. The appellant, a Food Inspector, contested an order regarding his seniority, which had been finalized years earlier. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of adhering to previously established decisions, particularly those that had not been challenged in higher courts. The Tribunal found that reopening the case after several years was unjustified and that the Secretary's orders concerning seniority were invalid. This case underscores the significance of timely appeals and the finality of administrative decisions in civil service matters. Keywords include seniority, civil service, Sindh Tribunal, administrative law, government service. |
