Judgment & Decree
MA. Siddiqi, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner; Nemo for Respondents. Date of hearing: 17th October, 1988. GHULAM MUJADDID J: ‑Muhammad lshtiaq son of Karam Elahi, ex‑Assistant Sub‑Postmaster, F‑Block Post Office, Satellite Town, Rawalpindi has filed this petition for leave to appeal against the judgment of Federal Service Tribunal dated 20‑10‑1987 whereby his appeal against his dismissal by order of the Deputy Postmaster General dated 25‑3‑1984 was rejected. The petitioner was dismissed from service on the charge of misconduct. Allegation was that used postage stamps were used on registered letters. Learned counsel submitted that it was one and the same officer who conducted the raid, issued show‑cause notice and dismissed the petitioner from service. As a matter of fact he was "everything". As such how could the petitioner expect justice. Learned counsel further submitted that necessary procedure as contemplated by Efficiency and Discipline Rules was not complied with. The petitioner gave statement in writing dated 15‑9‑1982 which we have perused. In this he confessed about his guilt. The statement was made voluntarily. It is the truth. Hence, we don't find any weight in any one of the submissions. The result is that the petition stands dismissed. AA./M‑671/S Petition dismissed.
