KARAMAT NAZIR BHANDARI, J.- By this consolidated judgment, we intend to dispose of Civil Petitions Nos. 720-L to 722-L of 2000, as they arise from the same impugned judgment, dated 21.2.2000 of the Federal Service Tribunal, Lahore (hereinafter to be referred to as "the Tribunal") and involve common questions of fact and law.
2. Admittedly the petitioners were working as probationers when their services were terminated on 13.8.1996. This termination was under condition No. ' (ii)' of the appointment letters. The termination was challenged within the department and then before the Service Tribunal, but without success.
The Tribunal held that no show-cause notice nor any inquiry was necessary before terminating the service of a probation.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners has repeated the same argument before us. He however, has not disputed that one of the conditions in the letter of appointment was that during the period of probation the service can be terminated 'without notice. We therefore, find to infirmity in the impugned judgment.
4. These petitions are hereby dismissed and leave is declined.
