Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No.494-L of 199 |
| Decision Date |
Jul 29, 1999 |
| Hearing Date |
|
| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal, affirming the ruling of the Service Tribunal which ordered the reinstatement of the civil servant. The Tribunal found that the dismissal was discriminatory, as other civil servants in similar situations had not been dismissed but retained in service. The Court noted that no question of law of public importance was raised that warranted interference. The decision emphasized the need for equal treatment of civil servants under similar circumstances. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the dismissal of Inspector Shafique-ur-Rehman from service due to alleged misconduct following his conviction. The Service Tribunal reinstated him, citing discrimination as similar cases had resulted in lesser penalties. The Supreme Court, however, found no significant legal question that warranted its intervention and upheld the Tribunal's decision. This case highlights issues of fairness and equality in disciplinary actions within public service, particularly in police departments, as it reflects on the standards of misconduct and the implications of legal convictions on employment. Keywords: public service, disciplinary action, police misconduct, reinstatement, equal treatment, case law. |
