FAQIR MUHAMMAD KHOKHAR, J.--- Both the sides have admitted that after passing the impugned judgments, the Federal Service Tribunal, Islamabad had taken a somewhat different view by entertaining the service appeals, involving the departmental penalties imposed under the provisions of Removal from Service (Special Powers) Ordinance XVII of 2000.
2. In this view of the matter, these appeals are allowed. Impugned judgments passed by the Federal Service Tribunal, Islamabad are set aside. Consequently, the appeals before the Service Tribunal, in these cases shall be deemed to be pending for a decision afresh, in accordance with law. No order as to costs.
