Judgment & Decree

HAMID ALI MIRZA, J.

Heard the petitioner in person. Petitioner submits that learned Service Tribunal has erred in holding that the appeal was barred by time.

2. We do not find substance and merit in the said contention. The impugned order dated 13-12-2000 was passed by Director, Elementary Education, Rawalpindi whereby the petitioner was reinstated but her intervening period was treated as leave without pay. The petitioner preferred appeal against the order of the Director, Elementary Education, Rawalpindi with regard to non-payment of her salary in respect of intervening period before the Punjab Service Tribunal on 29-8-2002 when the impugned order was passed on 13-12-2000 thus the filing of appeal was grossly time-barred, considering that filing of belated departmental representation to the Director, Education Punjab, Lahore which too was not maintainable as there was no such provision or second appeal under the rules.

3. In the circumstance we find no legal or factual infirmity with the impugned order, hence leave to appeal is declined and the petition is dismissed. S.A.K./B-104/SC Leave refused.
