1. ' TANIVR AHMED KHAN, J.---Leave to appeal is sought against the order dated 1-1-2002 of the Punjab Service Tribunal, Lahore (hereinafter referred to as the Tribunal), whereby his application for restoration of his Appeal dismissed by it earlier on 19-11-2001 on the ground of non-presecution was rejected.
2. ' Facts briefly are that the petitioner who was earlier working in the Federal Security Force and after its disbandment, joined Pakistan Rangers. Thereafter he was taken in the Punjab Constabulary. He filed an appeal before the Tribunal under section 4 of the Punjab Service Tribunals Act, 1974, on 19- 9-2001 claiming seniority for the service rendered by him in the Pakistan Rangers. The said appeal was dismissed for want of prosecution on 19-11-2001 as nobody was present from his side. He filed an application for restoration of his appeal and put up the reason that he had to appear before the Tribunal personally as such he restrained his lawyer from appearance on the above date. He, however, could not appear personally as he was busy in his professional duties. This application came up for hearing on 1-1-2002 and the Tribunal after hearing the parties dismissed the same.
3. Hence, this petition for leave to appeal.
4. ' We have considered the contentions advanced by the petitioner who has appeared in person in support of his petition and have gone through the entire material placed on record. We fail to understand why the petitioner restrained his lawyer from appearance before the Tribunal when he, according to his own showing, was busy in his professional duties. The-Tribunal, after taking into consideration all the aspects of the case, has dismissed his application for restoration of his appeal. We do not find any justification to interfere with the impugned order. Even otherwise, no point of law of general public importance as envisaged under Article 212(3) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, is involved in the present case.
5. ' Resultantly, for what has been stated above, the instant petition being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed and .
