Judgment & Decree
Nemo for Respondents. Date of hearing: 20th May, 1989. GHULAM MUJADDID, J.‑‑This petition for leave to appeal is barred by three days. There is no application for condonation of delay yet we allowed the counsel to argue on merits. . Petitioner, Meter Reader in WAPDA, was removed from service on 31‑7‑1982. Action was taken under section 17(1‑A) of the WAPDA Act. He appealed to the Federal Service Tribunal. The Tribunal dismissed the appeal by order dated 21‑8‑1984. He now seeks leave to appeal against the aforesaid judgment. Wherever the petitioner was posted, he made mess of everything. On one occasion he was caught red‑handed while reversing the electric meter of one of the consumers. The contention of the learned counsel that the order of removal was mala fide is devoid of force. The petitioner took this plea before the Tribunal who examined the same alongwith other relevant facts and found that it had no substance. We have also looked into this aspect and we are of the view that the petitioner had not been able to establish the same. The petitioner has no cause for leave to appeal. Dismissed. H.B.T./M‑1032/S . Petition dismissed.
