Judgment text as reported

The POSTMASTER GENERAL SINDH PROVINCE, KARACHI VS SYED FARHAN Punishment---award and quantum of punishment---Scope---award of appropriate punishment under the law is primarily the function of the concerned administrative authority and the role of the Tribunal/Court is rather secondary---Court ordinarily would not substitute its own finding with that of the said authority unless the latter's opinion is unreasonable or is based on irrelevant or extraneous considerations or is against the law declared---Law provides for more than one kind of punishments keeping in view the object of such penal provisions and the gravity of the charge in a case---Conceptually punishment to a delinquent public servant is premised on the concept of retribution, deterrence or reformation---In awarding punishments, the competent authority has to keep in mind the underlying object of law and the severity of the misconduct.
