Judgment & Decree

GHULAM MUJADDID, J.‑‑Muhammad Naseem Sipra filed three separate appeals before the Punjab Service Tribunal, Lahore. He wanted the adverse remarks entered in his annual confidential reports for the periods 10‑1‑79 to 21‑7‑79 22‑7‑79 to 31‑12‑79 and 21‑1‑80 to 31‑12‑80 to be expunged. The three appeals were dismissed by the Tribunal by judgment, dated 1‑11‑1982. He has now filed three separate petitions for leave to appeal. Civil Petitions Nos.41/83 and 42/83 are barred by ten days and 53/83 by fourteen days. In order to make sure whether the case of the petitioner was properly considered, we in the interest of justice ignored the factum of delay and permitted the counsel to address us on merits. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner we are of the view that the judgment of the Tribunal calls for no interference because the Tribunal after thorough examination of service record of the petitioner decided against him in accordance with law. As such the order is neither contrary to law nor without jurisdiction. In the absence of any substantial question of law of public importance we don't think any case is made out for leave to appeal. All the three petitions are hereby dismissed. M.BA./M‑812/S Petitions dismissed.
