The Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by Humayun Akhtar, who has been involved in litigation since 1982 regarding his suspension and subsequent termination. The court found no merit in his claims, stating that the issues raised had already been addressed in previous judgments. The court reiterated that the question of implementing a service tribunal's decision that had been set aside does not arise. The court dismissed the review petition filed by the petitioner against an earlier judgment, reinforcing the earlier decision that his case did not warrant further consideration. |
