2328/2021 Const. P. Muhammad Tanveer (Petitioner) V/S M/s Pakistan Steel Mills Corp Ltd and Ors (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 27-MAY-25
The petitioner's removal from service, ordered on October 20, 2009, appears unduly severe. This is because the inquiry officer had only recommended a one-stage reduction in pay. Furthermore, the petitioner was acquitted of the charges leveled by the Pakistan Steel Mills against him by a competent court. Given these circumstances, the punishment is disproportionate. Therefore, in the interest of justice, we have decided to change the punishment from removal from service to compulsory retirement, provided the petitioner meets the required length of service. The Pakistan Steel Mills, Ministry of Industry and Production, is directed to implement this change and its consequences within three months. 12. The petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
