Judgment & Decree

NAIMUDDIN, J.‑‑The petitioner seeks leave to appeal from the order of the Tribunal dated 22nd October, 1985. He was a police constable. A case was registered against him along with Muhammad Malak, under section 448, P.P.C., at Police Station Factory Area, Lahore. A show‑cause notice was also served on him on 11th April, 1981, by the Superintendent Police City Division, Lahore. Finding his reply unsatisfactory, the Superintendent of Police dismissed him from service vide his order, dated 22nd April, 1981. He and Muhammad Malak made a joint appeal to the Deputy Inspector‑General of Police, Lahore Range, Lahore but he rejected the same by the order, dated 5th July, 1981. His review petition to the Inspector‑General of Police, Punjab, Lahore, also failed, therefore, he took the matter to the Service Tribunal and succeeded there. While setting aside the orders appealed from, the Tribunal directed reinstatement of the petitioner in service from the date of his dismissal. The Tribunal, however, directed that the period for which the petitioner remained out of service shall be treated as extraordinary leave without pay. It is this part of the order with which the petitioner feels aggrieved. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The Tribunal by ordering that the period for which the petitioner remained out of service shall be A treated as extraordinary leave without pay, has exercised its discretionary powers and no valid ground has been urged for our interference with the exercise of such powers nor violation of any rule or provisions of law has been pointed out. We, therefore, find no merits in this petition and accordingly dismiss it. B M.Y.H./M‑759/S Leave refused.
