Appeal No. 208 of 1976 |
| Decision Date |
Dec 04, 1979 |
| Hearing Date |
Jul 13, 1976 |
| Decision |
The appeal filed by Waqar-ul-Islam was dismissed on the grounds of both merits and limitation. The Tribunal found that the appellant failed to prove that he possessed the necessary qualifications in Urdu Shorthand and Typewriting prior to 1968, thus rendering his claim for seniority invalid. The appellant's representation had already been rejected by the department on January 3, 1976, and the appeal filed on July 13, 1976, was deemed grossly time-barred. The decision emphasized the importance of adhering to the prescribed qualifications and timelines outlined in the relevant laws and regulations, leading to the conclusion that the appellant was not eligible for the promotion he sought. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeal of Waqar-ul-Islam against the Education Department of Punjab concerning his promotion as an Instructor in Urdu Shorthand and Typewriting. The appellant claimed seniority based on qualifications that he argued were acquired prior to the prescribed timeline established by the department. The Tribunal highlighted the critical issue of eligibility based on qualifications and the adherence to procedural timelines for appeals. The case underscores the significance of proper documentation and compliance with the Punjab Service Tribunals Act, particularly regarding limitations on appeals. The decision serves as a reminder for civil servants about the importance of maintaining accurate records of qualifications and timely submission of representations.
