| Decision |
The appeal filed by Muhammad Ramzan was dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction and merits. The tribunal found that it could not adjudicate on promotion matters concerning decisions made before July 1, 1969, under the Punjab Service Tribunals Act. The appellant's claims regarding seniority and promotion to the position of Stenographer were rejected based on the history of his transfers and the acceptance of these transfers. The tribunal concluded that the appellant had no legal grounds to contest his seniority and promotion and upheld the decisions made by the Chief Engineer, Faisalabad. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around Muhammad Ramzan's appeal against the decisions made by the irrigation department regarding his promotion and seniority as a Stenographer. The appeal was based on claims that his transfers from one region to another were not in line with his allocated region, Sargodha. The tribunal assessed the legal standing of his claims under the Punjab Service Tribunals Act, particularly focusing on the jurisdiction concerning decisions made prior to July 1, 1969. The tribunal concluded that the appellant's appeal was not maintainable, as he accepted his transfers and did not contest them in a timely manner. This case highlights the complexities of service law and the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in administrative matters. |
