Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi Order Date: 20-APR-26
After some arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is willing to conduct a de novo inquiry through a neutral person within one month, confront all allegations, and conclude proceedings by submitting recommendations to the competent authority, which shall pass a speaking order after hearing the respondents. Learned counsel for the respondents agreed to this proposal and sought the disposal of the petition on these terms. The proposal being reasonable is accepted. 6. In view of the above and with the consent of the parties, the petition is disposed of with directions to conduct a de novo inquiry through a neutral Inquiry Officer, who shall confront the respondents with all allegations by holding the regular inquiry and conclude the proceedings within one month. The competent authority shall thereafter pass a speaking order after hearing all concerned. The issue of back benefits shall remain subject to the outcome of the regular inquiry. Consequently, the orders of the learned Single Bench and Full Bench of NIRC are set aside, and the matter is remanded for de novo inquiry as discussed supra. All pending applications also stand disposed of.
