| Decision |
The appeal filed by Fazal Ahmed Jat against his suspension was dismissed on the grounds that the suspension order was valid and acted upon, making it a final order. The Tribunal held that the suspension was in accordance with the rules governing civil servants and that the appeal was competent under the amended Service Tribunals Act, 1973. The court concluded that there were serious allegations of misconduct and corruption against the appellant, justifying the suspension until the inquiry was completed. The appellant was entitled to full salary and benefits during the suspension period, and thus the appeal for reinstatement was not granted. |

The Tribunal analyzed the provisions of the Service Tribunals Act and the relevant disciplinary rules, ultimately ruling that the suspension was valid and that the appellant's appeal was competent. The case highlights the balance between the rights of civil servants and the need for effective governance, emphasizing that allegations of misconduct warrant careful consideration in disciplinary actions.
