FAZAL ELAHI Versus DEPUTY DIRECTOR, FOOD

ORDER

1. The petitioner is a civil servant. He challenges the legality of the order whereby he has been placed under suspension. I am afraid this! Court cannot examine this matter as it falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Service Tribunal. See Muhammad Sadiq Khokhar v. Engineer‑in‑Chief (N L R 1979 Service (S C) 99).

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to S. H: M. Rizvi v. Maqsood Ahmad (P L D 1981 S C 612) but that is not relevant for the petitioner is not seeking an early disposal of his appeal by the department but challenging the very legality of the order of suspension. Dismissed.

3. A. E. Petition dismissed.
