ALI HUSSAIN QAZILBASH, J--This is an appeal by leave against the order of the Federal Service Tribunal, dated 29-5-1984.
2. Ghulam Rasul Shah, appellant, was employed in WAPDA on 12-9-1967 and worked as meter- reader in various places. On certain complaints he was suspended on 29-10-1977 and was charge- sheeted on 15-11-1977. He was, however, reinstated on 15-6-1978 but his two increments were withheld and his salary during the period he remained suspended was forfeited. After the lapse of about two years another show-cause notice was given to him to which he submitted his reply but was dismissed from service on 29-6-1980. The order of his dismissal was, however, set aside by the N.I.R.C. And he was reinstated. On 28th July, 1982 the appellant was removed from service under section 17(1-A) of the WAPDA Act. This order was challenged by way of an appeal before the Federal Service Tribunal which was dismissed through the impugned order.
3. Leave in this case was granted to consider whether in view of the complete ouster of jurisdiction under section 17(1-C) of the WAPDA Act, 1958, the Service Tribunal could assume jurisdiction and interfere with orders of WAPDA in respect of persons employed or serving under it. This question stands resolved by this Court vide its judgment reported as WAPDA v. Muhammad Arshad Qureshi 1986 SCMR 18.
4. As for the merits, we find that the removal of the appellant from service is justified because his service record is full of allegations against him. He was charge-sheeted thrice and similarly punished on three occasions. There is no merit in this appeal and the same is dismissed.
