' MUHAMMAD NAWAZ ABBASI, J---The petitioner, an employee of Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) was proceeded against for the charge of misconduct under Pakistan WAPDA (E&D) Rules, 1978 and was awarded the punishment of compulsory retirement from service vide order dated 15-7-1999. The departmental appeal filed by the petitioner was not decided within the statutory period and he approached the Federal Service Tribunal for redressal of his grievance. The Tribunal having dilated upon the matter in detail, allowed the appeal vide judgment dated 7-5- 2002 and directed reinstatement of the petitioner in service without back-benefits.
2. The petitioner through this petition under Article 212(3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 has sought leave to appeal against the judgment of Service Tribunal to the extent of refusal of back-benefits.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that since the petitioner was compulsorily retired from service without any legal justification, depriving him from the legitimate right of earning of livelihood, therefore, withholding the back-benefits was not proper and legal.
4. The perusal of the judgment of the Tribunal reveals that the Tribunal having considered the question relating to the grant of back-benefits to the petitioner, left it open for decision by the concerned authority on conclusion of the departmental inquiry, if any, therefore, we are not, inclined to take any exception to the discretion exercised by the Tribunal and further no question of law of public importance is involved in this petition for interference of this Court. This petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
