NASIM AHMAD Siddiqul vs COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS And Other
This matter involves two petitions for leave to appeal against a judgment of the Federal Service Tribunal dated 21-10-1985, which had dismissed the petitioners' appeals challenging their dismissal from service. The core legal question before the Supreme Court was whether the Federal Service Tribunal erred in its adjudication of the petitioners' dismissal, thereby warranting the exercise of the Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction. Upon reviewing the record and hearing the arguments presented by the petitioners' counsel, the Supreme Court found no valid justification for interference with the Tribunal's decision. The Court held that the Federal Service Tribunal had comprehensively addressed all pleas raised by the petitioners and provided valid, proper reasons for rejecting them. Consequently, the Court affirmed the Tribunal's decision and dismissed both petitions. The principle laid down is that the Supreme Court will not interfere with the findings of the Federal Service Tribunal where the Tribunal has duly considered the relevant pleas and provided sound, reasoned justifications for its conclusions in service-related dismissal matters.
- Does the Supreme Court have grounds to interfere with a judgment of the Federal Service Tribunal where the Tribunal has already addressed and rejected the petitioner's pleas with valid reasons?
- Is a dismissal from service appealable before the Supreme Court after the Federal Service Tribunal has upheld the dismissal?
ORDER
1. ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, J.--By these two petitions, the petitioners seek leave to appeal from the judgment of Federal Service Tribunal, dated 21-10-1985 dismissing two separate appeals filed by the petitioners. These appeals were directed against the order of petitioners' dismissal from service.
2. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners in the light of the record before us we find that there is no valid justification at all for interference by this Court, for, the Service Tribunal has dealt with all the pleas raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners before us and rejected them for valid and proper reasons. Both the petitions are, therefore, dismissed.
