ORDER

1. ' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.---The petitioner was employed as an Auxiliary worker in the Social Welfare Directorate. The Directorate found that at the time of joining service she had misstated her age and had produced a forged certificate in respect of her date of birth. It served a show-cause notice upon her and after giving her an opportunity to explain her position, dismissed her from service.

2. She filed an appeal before the Deputy Director but it was dismissed. She then filed an appeal before the Punjab Service Tribunal. This too failed. She now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.

3. ' After examining the record the Service Tribunal had found that at the time of seeking employment in the Directorate the petitioner had made a misstatement about her age. This is a finding of fact.

4. The learned counsel appearing on her behalf has not been able to pursuade us that this finding suffers from any infirmity. Once it is established that she had obtained the employment through misrepresentation it was open to the Directorate to terminate it. This petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
