1. ' S. USMAN ALI SHAH, J.---Ghulam Qadir Butt petitioner filed this petition for leave against the order of the Federal Service Tribunal dated 18-1-1988, whereby his appeal was dismissed.
2. ' The petitioner was holding the post of U.D.C. In the Settlement and Rehabilitation Department. He was declared surplus due to the retrenchment in the said department under the order of Ministry of Agriculture & Works (Rehabilitation and Works Division) dated 26-1-1966. The orders of 1966 were challenged before the Federal Service Tribunal and as provided under section 4 subsection (i) clause (c) of the Service Tribunals Act, 1973, no appeal lies to the Tribunal against an order or decision made prior to 1st July, 1969 and hence the same being hopelessly time-barred was rightly not entertainable. There is no I force in this petition and is hereby dismissed. .
