Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑Leave to appeal has been sought by WAPDA against the acceptance by the High Court, of respondent's appeal against removal from service and other consequential punishments. The respondent was also tried before a Criminal Court for the same accusation which formed the charge against him in the departmental proceedings. He was acquitted by the learned special Judge. We after having perused both the judgments‑‑by the Special Judge and by the Tribunal, are of the view that the exoneration of the respondent by the Tribunal in the impugned judgment does not raise any question of law of public importance. Leave to appeal, accordingly, is refused. M.B.A. /W‑61/S Petition dismissed
