FAZAL DIN vs THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT OF THE PUNJAB, FINANCE
This matter arises from a petition for leave to appeal filed by Fazal Din, an ex-Accountant of the Jhang Treasury Office, challenging the judgment of the Punjab Service Tribunal dated 23-2-1981, which had dismissed his service appeal against the order of his dismissal from service. The core legal question before the Supreme Court was whether the Service Tribunal committed any error of law in dismissing the petitioner's appeal and whether the case involved any question of public importance warranting interference. The Supreme Court held that the Tribunal provided cogent reasons for its decision and that no error of law or question of public importance was made out. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition for leave to appeal, affirming the dismissal of the service appeal.
- Whether the Supreme Court will grant leave to appeal against a service tribunal judgment where no error of law is pointed out?
- Does a service matter concerning dismissal from service necessarily involve a question of public importance?
