| Decision |
The case involved a service appeal that was dismissed by the North-West Frontier Province Service Tribunal on grounds of limitation as well as on merits. The petitioner sought leave to appeal on both points. After thorough consideration of the learned counsel's arguments regarding limitation, the court concluded that the petitioner's appeal was indeed time-barred and warranted dismissal solely on that basis. Consequently, the court found no necessity to delve into the merits of the case. Therefore, the leave to appeal was refused, affirming the Tribunal's decision. |
