| Decision |
The appeal filed by Abdur Rauf against the dismissal order dated 6-1-1988 was dismissed as incompetent. The court found that the appellant had ceased to be a civil servant as of 18-7-1987 due to his compulsory retirement, making the subsequent dismissal order invalid. The arguments presented by both parties were considered, and it was concluded that the respondent was not competent to issue the dismissal order after the appellant's retirement. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed without any order as to costs. |
| Summary |
In the case of Abdur Rauf vs. Lahore High Court, the appellant contested a dismissal order following his compulsory retirement from service under the Punjab Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1975. The main legal issue revolved around the appellant's status as a civil servant post-retirement. The court, led by Chairman Muhammad Mahmud Aslam Pirzada, ruled that the appellant was no longer a civil servant after the retirement date of 18-7-1987, rendering the dismissal order issued on 6-1-1988 invalid. This case highlights the importance of understanding the implications of retirement on employment status within civil service law. Keywords such as 'civil service', 'dismissal order', 'compulsory retirement', and 'Punjab Service Tribunal' are essential for legal professionals and researchers interested in administrative law and public service regulations. |
