Judgment & Decree

ALI HUSSAIN QAZILBASH, J.‑‑This is a petition for leave to appeal against the judgment of the N.‑W.F.P. Service Tribunal, dated 11‑8‑1988.

2. The respondent was a lady police constable who had only put in four months service. During this period a complaint was received by her superiors against her conduct. This complaint was confirmed by the Incharge Women Police. She was served with a show‑cause notice. The reply to the show‑cause notice was found unsatisfactory and thereafter she was discharged from service. She then approached the Service Tribunal by way of an appeal which was allowed through the impugned judgment.

3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. The only ground stressed by him was that there was no bar under the law on the Authority to pass p order under Police Rule 12.21 after initiating proceedings under Police Rules, 1975, as Police Rule 12.21 applies to those police officers who bear service of less than three years. Reliance in this respect was placed on Abdul Karim v. West Pakistan Province (P L D 1956 S C 298). 3‑A. To consider the question raised above, leave is granted. AA./G‑165/S Leave to appeal granted.
