Judgment & Decree

SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.‑‑The only question for consideration in this petition for special leave to appeal is whether the petitioner was a civil servant holding the post of dispenser m the Government Degree College, Hafizabad. Admittedly, there is no formal order issued by any competent authority appointing him as such. The Tribunal has gone through the relevant record and observed: On going through the record we find that the appellant received no remuneration from 1‑3‑75 to the beginning of the summer vacation. This was at his own request. He was appointed part‑time Dispenser w.e.f. 18‑8‑1975 on Rs.60 P.M. honorarium. He was not a regular civil servant there being no regular post to which he could be appointed. The Principal's statement in his letter, dated 20‑11‑1975 to respondent No.2 that the appellant was working since 1‑3‑1975 means just that and not that he was working against a sanctioned post of regular Dispenser. The endorsement of the A.D. Colleges on this letter that his pay may be drawn against the regularized post of Dispenser is not a letter of p. ,, appointment issued to the appellant". The learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to show that the findings of the learned Tribunal suffer from any infirmity. The petition is dismissed. A.A./A‑481/S Petition dismissed.
