| Decision |
The petitioners submitted their case in person, and the Supreme Court observed that the Federal Service Tribunal had not considered the fact that the National Logistic Cell (NLC) was an entity established and operated by the Federal Government. Therefore, the employees of NLC, who were the petitioners, were entitled to invoke the jurisdiction of the Federal Service Tribunal. The court granted leave to appeal to review this matter further, indicating that there was a prima facie case for consideration. |
