Case Number 603(R) of 1998
Decision Date Dec 09, 1998
Hearing Date Dec 07, 1998
Decision The appeal was dismissed as the appellant had no cause for grievance. The Tribunal found that the appellant, upon reversion to his original post in the parent cadre, was not entitled to any relief as he had been placed in his earlier grade and status. It was established that a deputationist does not have a vested right to remain on a post indefinitely. The judgment reinforced the principle that a civil servant's lien in their parent department remains intact even during periods of deputation, and therefore, the appellant was not meted out any discriminatory treatment.
Summary The case revolves around the reversion of a civil servant from a deputation post to his original position in the Pakistan Military Accounts Department. The Federal Service Tribunal examined the appellant's claims regarding his rights during his period of deputation. It was concluded that the appellant had no vested right to remain in the deputation position permanently. The Tribunal referenced previous case law to support its decision, emphasizing that upon reversion, the appellant was restored to his original post with appropriate grade and status. The ruling highlighted key aspects of civil service regulations and the implications of deputation, making it a significant case in understanding the rights of civil servants in Pakistan.
