MUHAMMAD ARIF SIDDIQI Versus GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN

ORDER

S.A.NUSRAT, J. ‑‑This petition arises out of the judgment of the Federal Service Tribunal dated 16‑9‑1984.

2. It was contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that proper procedure as laid down in rule 6 of the Government Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules 1973, was not followed in this case inasmuch as no inquiry as contemplated in the rule, was held; no proper opportunity of hearing was given to the petitioner as the Inquiry Officer had mainly proceeded to decide the case in an inquisitorial manner by issuing a questionnaire, on which the petitioner was cross‑examined in his defence.

3. The above contention, inter alia, requires examination. Leave is accordingly granted. The appeal will be heard on the presents record with permission to file documents, if any, by the parties.

The appeal is directed to be fixed at an early date.

M.I. /M‑349/S Leave granted.
