Judgment ORDER MUSHTAQ HUSSAIN, J.-The Provincial Co-ordination Committee decided to grant 5 advance increments to persons holding a Master's Degree in the Physical and Natural Sciences and serving as lecturers in colleges. Instructors and Senior Instructors of polytechniques also applied for it. The Punjab Government decided to accept the decision of the Provincial Co-ordination. Committee only in respect to Instructors and Senior Instructors who were appointed on regular basis in N. P. S. 17 and who held the posts on 30-4-1977. 2. The petitioners are ad hoc Officers and, therefore, do not fall within this category. They filed-an appeal before the Tribunal which took note of their submissions and expressed itself in favour of their demand and disposed of the appeal without issuing any direction. Hence this petition for special leave to appeal. 3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners who base their claims upon the decision of the Provincial Co-ordination Committee. The various Provincial sGovernments are not bound under any law by decisions of the Provincial Co-ordination Committee which becomes effective in -a Province only upon the Provincial Government's accepting the same. The petitioners have, therefore, no case on the legal plain. In fact, they should thank their stars that the Tribunal has made a recommendation which, of course, they could use in representing their case before the Govermnent in their favour. This petition is, therefore, dismissed.
