Decision The Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by the Government of N.W.F.P. seeking leave to appeal against the decision of the N.W.F.P. Service Tribunal.

The Court found no merit in the petitioner's arguments and upheld the Tribunal's decision, which was supported by precedent. Leave to appeal was therefore refused.
