1. MUHAMMAD HALEEM, C.J.--The learned Deputy Attorney- General states that as no copy of the inquiry report was supplied to the appellant, and no second show-cause notice was issued to him before imposing the penalty, the appeal may be allowed in terms of the decision in the case of Syed Mir Muhammad v . N . W . F . P. Government PLD 1981 SC 176 rel.

2. Accordingly, we would set aside the order imposing the penalty, and direct that the proceedings be resumed by furnishing a copy of the inquiry report to the appellant and giving him a reasonable opportunity to show-cause against the proposed order in terms of the judgment of this Court in Syed Mir Muhammad's case so as to enable the appellant to offer his explanation.

3. The appeal is accordingly disposed of but with no order as to costs.
