FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN Versus MUHAMMAD AZAM
This matter arises from a petition for leave to appeal before the Supreme Court of Pakistan, involving the termination of service of a public employee. The core legal question addressed is whether the service of respondent No. 1 was lawfully terminated prior to the expiry of the extended period of probation in accordance with the applicable law and rules. The Court heard the counsel for the parties and granted leave to appeal to examine the legality of the termination vis-a-vis the probationary period. The holding of the Court is that leave to appeal is granted to consider the proper interpretation and application of the relevant termination rules during an extended probation period.
- Whether the service of a probationer can be terminated before the expiry of the extended period of probation?
- Was the termination of service in accordance with the provisions of the relevant law and rules?
