WATER AND POWER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Versus MOBASHIR AHMAOL

ORDER

1. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J. ‑‑This order will dispose of all the above petitions, as the question falling for determination in all of them is the same.

2. The penalties imposed upon the respondent have been set aside by the Federal Service Tribunal on the ground that the competent authority did not afford a personal hearing to the respondent before imposing them.

3. The learned counsel for WAPDA submits that this was not necessary and even if it was, these matters should have been remanded to the Authority to recommence proceedings from the stage from where the illegality, if any, crept in.

4. The respondent has already been compulsorily retired. The question now only is the rate of pension to which he is entitled. 1n case the punishments awarded, which are the subject‑matter of these petitions, are upheld, the A respondent will be entitled to pension at a slightly lesser rate.

5. Not a fit case for exercise of this Court's discretionary jurisdiction to grant leave to appeal.

6. All these petitions are dismissed.

7. MA.K./W‑41/S. Petitions dismissed.
