' ALI HUSSAIN QAZILBASH, J.--This petition for leave to appeal arises from the judgment of the Punjab Service Tribunal, dated 31-7-1983.
2. The services of the respondent who was working as an Assistant in the Office of the Director, Soil Conservation, Punjab, Rawalpindi, were terminated on 11-2-1978 on account of wilful absence from duty. On appeal by him, the Director, however, set aside the order of termination of his services, the period of absence was treated as leave without pay and a warning was given to him. The respondent's services were again terminated on 12-7-1982 on the same charges. He approached the High Court but was directed to seek his remedy before the Punjab Service Tribunal. The learned Tribunal after considering the case held that the subsequent order was unlawful and void ab initio in that the respondent A could not be vexed for the same charge twice, hence the present petition.
3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and we hardly find any merit in this petition. The same is dismissed.
