Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 20-JAN-25
Hence, in our view, the decision taken by the Cantonment Executive Officer Clifton Cantonment to impose the major penalty of compulsory retirement upon the petitioner is violative of the principles of natural justice and law on the subject issue, so as the length of service of the petitioner is concerned, which is not sustainable under the law. On the aforesaid proposition, the decision rendered by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of Jan Muhammad v. General Manager, Karachi Telecommunication Region and another, 1993 SCMR 1440, is clear in its terms. 15. Foregoing the reasons, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the Cantonment Executive Officer Clifton Cantonment to take a fresh decision by hearing the petitioner within two months.
