| Decision |
The tribunal found that the removal of the appellant from service was invalid due to non-compliance with mandatory provisions under the Punjab Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1975. The appellant was not given a fair chance to present his case, as no charge-sheet was issued and no inquiry was conducted. The tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, reinstating him in service and treating the intervening period as Earned Leave. The decision emphasized the importance of following due process in disciplinary proceedings against civil servants. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the wrongful dismissal of Muhammad Afzal, a Senior Vocation Teacher, who was removed from service under allegations of acquiring his position through bogus means. The tribunal found that the dismissal lacked proper inquiry and adherence to disciplinary procedures as outlined in the Punjab Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1975. The case highlights the necessity of due process in administrative actions against civil servants, ensuring that rights are upheld and that proper procedures are followed to maintain integrity within the educational and civil service sectors. Keywords such as 'civil servants', 'disciplinary action', 'due process', 'service tribunal', and 'Punjab Civil Servants Rules' are vital for understanding the implications of this case, and they remain relevant in discussions regarding administrative law and civil service regulations. |
