ALI HUSSAIN QAZILBASH, J.--The Government of N.-W.F.P. Through the Chief Secretary seeks leave to appeal from the order of the Provincial Service Tribunal, dated 17-1-1985, whereby the promotion of respondents 2 and 3 with retrospective effect was set aside.
2. The facts of the case have been given by the learned Chairman, Provincial Service Tribunal in detail and we need not repeat them. Suffice it to say that a seniority list of the senior scale stenographers as it stood, on 1-7-1983 was published by the Government wherein respondents 2 and 3 were shown junior to their batch-mates. On their representation, however, the Government promoted them senior to respondent No. 1 with effect from 17-7-1974 as per order, dated 11-4-1984.
This was challenged by way of an appeal by respondent No. 1 before the Provincial Service Tribunal.
This appeal was heard and through the impugned judgment the order of promotion of respondents 2 and 3 was set aside.
3. We have heard the learned Assistant Advocate-General and gone through the judgment of the learned Tribunal and are of the view that the findings arrived at by the Tribunal do not require any interference in that no rule or regulation was produced by the Government either before the Tribunal or before this Court authorising it to order promotion with retrospective effect. The two letters, dated 10-5-1974 and 8-11-1974 (on pages 60 and 62 of the paper book) which are being relied upon by the learned counsel for the petitioner are not only not relevant but they cannot be equated with any law or regulation. They are simply administrative letters and cannot be pressed into service for affecting the rights of the parties. No case has been made out for grant of leave.
The petition, therefore, fails and is dismissed.
