Syed HAMMAD RAZA VS SPECIAL SECRETARY GOVERNMENT OF THE PUNJAB S.17---Constitution of Pakistan, Arts. 25 & 199---Disciplinary proceedings---Discrimination---Petitioner was serving as Inspector Market Committee who was compulsorily retired from service during departmental proceedings but lesser punishment was imposed upon Secretary Market Committee---Validity---If Administrator Market Committee had passed an illegal order without taking Secretary Market Committee into confidence, or without his guidance even after deposit of outstanding dues and issuance of receipts, the Secretary Market Committee could bring the matter into notice of Administrator for taking further steps in line with law on the subject but shyness on his part had spoken volumes about his dubious conduct towards performance of his duties---Present was a case of clear discrimination as no distinguishing feature for imposition of harsher penalty against petitioner as compared to Secretary Market Committee was mentioned---Such act of departmental authorities was violative of Art. 25 of the Constitution---High Court maintained the conviction but reduced the punishment into one imposed to the Secretary Market Committee--- Constitutional petition was dismissed accordingly.
