Petitioner: WATER AND POWER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY through Chairman and 3 others VS Respondent: MAQBOOL ZAMAN
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Manzoor Hussain Sial, Saad Saood Jan Title:WATER AND POWER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY through Chairman and 3
others vs MAQBOOL ZAMAN Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No, 324-L of 1993 Date of Judgment:1994-05-15 Reported As: 1995 SCMR 24 Result: Leave granted Judgment ORDER ' SAAD SAOOD JAN, ACTG. C.J.---On an appeal preferred by the respondent the Federal Service Tribunal has directed the petitioners to consider altering the date of respondent's move-over from Scale 19 to Scale 20 from 1-12-1988 to 1-12-1984 with all the consequential benefits. The petitioners seek leave to appeal from this Court. 2. In support of this petition it is inter alia contended that under the relevant instructions in order to qualify for move-over to Scale-20 the confidential reports of the respondent for the last five years should have been at least good. His service record did not measure up to this standard and for that reason the direction given by the learned Tribunal violated the relevant instructions. The fact that the adverse remarks recorded in his confidential reports were not communicated to him in time would not imply that his service record had to be graded as 'good' as distinguished from `average'. 3. The contention raised in support of this petition needs examination. Leave to appeal is accordingly granted.
