| Decision |
The appeal filed by Abdul Sattar against the order of compulsory retirement was accepted by the Federal Service Tribunal. The Tribunal found that the removal of the Appellant from service was not in accordance with the proper procedure, as he was not given a reasonable opportunity for a hearing. The Tribunal modified the punishment from compulsory retirement to withholding of two increments for a period of two years, and the Appellant was to be reinstated in service. The intervening period was treated as leave of the kind due to the Appellant. No costs were awarded in this case. |
| Summary |
In the case of Abdul Sattar vs. Deputy Post Master General, the Federal Service Tribunal addressed the issue of unlawful removal from service under the Service Tribunals Act, 1973. The Tribunal found procedural violations in the process leading to the Appellant's compulsory retirement. The Appellant's claims of being denied a fair hearing and the lack of a formal show-cause notice were upheld, leading to a modification of the penalty. The decision emphasizes the importance of adhering to principles of natural justice in employment matters, particularly for civil servants. The ruling aligns with previous judgments that advocate fair treatment of employees and highlights the Tribunal's role in ensuring justice in administrative actions. This case serves as a significant reference for future appeals regarding service removals and the necessity for due process. |
