Judgment & Decree

This is a petition in revision against order dated the 8th January 1959, of the Commissioner, Lahore Division who dismissed the appeal of M. Muhammad Shall, an ex‑Patwari of Tehsil Shahdara, District Sheikhupura, and upheld the order of the Collector, Sheikhupura District, dated the 23rd April 1958, by which the petitioner was retired from service compulsorily, under rule 5.33 of the C. S. R., Punjab, Volume II, for inefficiency, bad record of service and doubtful integrity.

2. The orders of the competent authority under rule 5.331 ibid, retiring the petitioner compulsorily from service on complet ing the qualifying service of 25 years and before reaching the, age of superannuation, are final, and not appealable. The executive' instructions, however, provide a representation to the normal appellate authority. There is no provision for revision of the appellate authority's directive. The petition of M. Muhammad Shafi, an ex‑Patwari, is therefore, not competent in law and is rejected. K. M. A. Petition rejected
