NOOR AHMAD vs THE DEPUTY INSPECTORGENERAL POLICE and others
The petitioner, a police constable, challenged his dismissal from service before the Punjab Service Tribunal, further seeking promotion to the rank of Head Constable while maintaining his seniority. The Punjab Service Tribunal, after evaluating the applicable service rules and relevant judicial precedents, dismissed the appeal. The petitioner subsequently sought leave to appeal against the Tribunal's judgment before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Upon hearing the arguments presented by the petitioner's counsel, the Supreme Court found no error of law in the Tribunal's decision. The Court held that there was no legal justification to interfere with the impugned judgment of the Tribunal. Consequently, the petition for leave to appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision to uphold the dismissal order passed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police.
- Can the Supreme Court interfere with a judgment of the Punjab Service Tribunal where no error of law is demonstrated?
- Is a police constable entitled to promotion to Head Constable as a matter of right following dismissal from service?
