Judgment text as reported

Citation Name: 2023 PLC(CS) 1415 PESHAWAR-HIGH-COURTBookmark this Case MUKHTAR MUHAMMAD KHAN VS The SHAHEED BENAZIR BHUTTO UNIVERSITY SHERINGAL DIR UPPER Termination from service---Absence from duty---Scope---Petitioner assailed the order of termination of his services on the ground of absence from duty and dismissal of his departmental appeal---Contention of the petitioner was that he was on probation when a false criminal case was registered against him, leading to his arrest---After his acquittal, he approached the department and discovered that he had been terminated ---Validity---Petitioner's claim was questionable since neither before his arrest nor after the framing of charge, he or anyone on his behalf had informed the department about his alleged involvement in the criminal case---It's important to note that the petitioner was terminated from service before he had attained the status of a confirmed employee---Regular or confirmed employee could be removed from service after conducting a full-fledged inquiry, whereas a probationer could be removed from service based on allegations of misconduct, corruption, or malpractice, provided an opportunity for a hearing was provided---If the termination was simpliciter, it did not require the issuance of any notice---Consequently, the constitutional petition was dismissed.
