JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT ' GHULAM MUJADDID, J.---Afzal Ahmad, son of Muhammad Rafique, EL-Meter Reader, WAPDA, RA. Bazar Sub-Division, Lahore Cantt. Seeks leave to appeal against the judgment of the Federal Service Tribunal dated 18-9-1984. ' The petitioner was removed from service under section 17(1-A) of the WAPDA Act. ' The solitary contention raised before us was that before he was required to leave the office vide order dated 18-7-1982, the petitioner was never served with any show-cause notice nor an enquiry was held. ' It was contended that though not mentioned in so many words in the petition, this procedure was un-Islamic. In support of this reliance was placed on Pakistan v. Public-at-large PLD 1987 SC 304. We have considered the submission of the learned counsel. The dictum laid down in the aforesaid case is not applicable to the present one. ' We, therefore, don't find any substance in this petition for leave to appeal. ' Dismissed.
