S. JAMIL AHMED HASHMI vs SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, ISLAMABAD And Other
This matter comes before the Supreme Court of Pakistan as a petition for leave to appeal against the judgment of the Federal Service Tribunal dated 27-2-1984, which had dismissed the petitioner's appeal and upheld his removal from service. The core legal question concerns the legality and factual justification of the petitioner's removal from service and whether the Service Tribunal erred in upholding the same. The Supreme Court held that no exception could be taken in law or on facts against the judgment of the Service Tribunal, as the petitioner was duly proved guilty of the charges framed against him. Consequently, the petition was dismissed. The key principle laid down is that findings of fact by the Service Tribunal regarding the guilt of a civil servant in disciplinary matters, when supported by the record, will not be interfered with by the Supreme Court.
- Whether the Supreme Court will interfere with factual findings of the Federal Service Tribunal regarding charges against a civil servant?
- Can a petition for leave to appeal be maintained against a judgment of the Federal Service Tribunal upholding removal from service when charges are proved?
