ORDER

1. ' GHULAM MUJADDID, J.--WAPDA has filed this petition for leave to appeal against the judgment of the Federal Service Tribunal dated 17-9-84 whereby appeal of Muhammad Akram respondent, Meter Reader, was partly accepted The Tribunal quashed the order of his removal from service but held that the order of his reversion for a period of two years shall remain in force and the period during which he remained out of service should be treated as extraordinary leave without pay.

2. Learned counsel appearing in support of this petition submitted that the Tribunal acted beyond the scope of its jurisdiction which was confined only to examine mala fides and coram non judice.
