| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petitioner's appeal against the Punjab Service Tribunal's decision which found the appeal barred by time. The petitioner, who served as an Assistant Director, was retired after 25 years of service. He challenged the retirement order more than two months after it was made, exceeding the 30-day period allowed for appeals. His request for condonation of delay was denied as he had previously contested the order in the High Court. The Court found no errors in the Tribunal's judgment and refused leave to appeal. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the procedural aspects of the Punjab Service Tribunals Act and the Constitution of Pakistan regarding the timeliness of appeals. The petitioner, after being retired, sought to challenge the legality of the retirement order. However, his appeal was dismissed due to being filed after the stipulated time frame, despite his claims of not receiving the retirement notification. The case highlights the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in legal appeals.
