SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.-The petitioner was serving as Assistant Food Controller, Gujranwala. By an order dated 5-11-1986, he was retired from service under section 12(ii), Punjab Civil Servants Act on completion of 25 years of service qualifying for pension and other retirement benefits. The order was passed by the Deputy Director. He had the right of appeal before the Director under section 21(1), the Punjab Civil Servants Act. Instead of exercising this right he preferred a review petition before the Deputy Director which was dismissed. He then filed an appeal before the Federal Service Tribunal. The learned Tribunal dismissed the appeal on the ground that the petitioner had approached the Tribunal without exercising his right of departmental appeal. The petitioner seeks leave to appeal from this Court.
2. After hearing the learned counsel we are unable to find any infirmity in the view taken by the learned Tribunal; in fact it is in accord with the decision of this Court in the case of Ali Raza Shah Naqvi v. Government of Sindh (PLD 1979 SC 856). Leave is refused.
