Decision Date Nov 12, 1983
Hearing Date
Decision The Tribunal dismissed the miscellaneous application filed by Khalid Pervaiz for review of its earlier judgment. The Tribunal held that it does not have the power to review its own decisions unless there are mathematical or clerical errors. The earlier dismissal of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction was upheld, as the appellant was not recognized as a civil servant under the law. The Tribunal allowed the appellant to seek remedies before the appropriate forum, indicating that the time spent in this Tribunal would not count towards any limitation period.
Summary The case revolves around the appeal of Khalid Pervaiz against the Faisalabad Development Authority concerning jurisdictional issues under the Punjab Service Tribunals Act. The Tribunal ruled that it lacks the jurisdiction to review its earlier decisions unless there are clerical errors. The appellant's claim was dismissed as he was not considered a civil servant, thus falling outside the Tribunal's jurisdiction. The decision emphasizes the importance of proper representation and understanding of jurisdictional boundaries in service tribunal matters. The Tribunal acknowledged the appellant's right to seek remedy in a proper forum, reinforcing the procedural integrity of tribunal systems. This case highlights critical aspects of administrative law and the procedural limits of service tribunals, making it a significant reference point for similar cases in the future.
