INSPECTORGENERAL OF POLICE, N.W.F.P., PESHAWAR and 2 others vs MUHAMMAD YOUSAF
This matter arises from a petition for leave to appeal filed by the Inspector-General of Police, N.W.F.P., and others against Muhammad Yousaf, concerning the dismissal of the respondent from police service. The core legal question examined by the Supreme Court is whether Rule 12 of the N.-W.F.P. Police Rules, 1975 barred the jurisdiction of the N.-W.F.P. Service Tribunal to entertain the service appeal filed by the respondent against his dismissal. Additionally, the court addressed the question of limitation regarding the application for condonation of delay. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to examine these questions, directing that the appeals be heard together on the existing record with permission for the parties to file necessary additional documents.
