He was in the habit of absenting himself without leave and he remained absent from June, 1986 to December, 1986. The management, therefore, charge-sheeted the appellant and after domestic enquiry conducted on 3rd February, 1987 he was dismissed. A second show-cause notice was given before the final dismissal. 2. The case of the appellant was that he was guilty of absence on account of domestic worries and sickness at home, he should be pardoned and given one more chance that he would never remain absent in future. 3. Mr. Muhammad Atique Qureshi has argued that these periods of absences were old and the charge-sheet was time-barred. The last two periods of absences were from 4th July, 1988 to 27th July, 1988 and the period of habitual late attendance under section 15(3)(f) of the Standing Orders Ordinance as given in . The charge sheet was from January, 1987 to July, 1988 and the charge- sheet was, dated 17th August, 1988. The charge-sheet was, therefore, not time-barred. The charge has practically been admitted by the appellant in his Written Statement. 4. I can, therefore, find no substance in this appeal which is accordingly dismissed.
