IJAZ BADSHAH VS SECRETARY, ESTABLISHMENT DIVISION, GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN, CABINET BLOCK, CONSTITUTION AVENUE, ISLAMABAD Penalty imposed by the competent authority---Proportionality and reasonableness---Judicial review of penalty by the Supreme Court---Scope---Supreme Court may examine and judicially review the executive discretion (in imposing penalty) on the ground of proportionality and reasonableness but at the same time the gravity of the charges raised in the statement of allegations are also to be considered---While exercising the role of judicial review in order to examine whether the punishment awarded by the competent authority may be converted into some lesser punishment or not, the set of circumstances of each and every case have to be considered minutely to determine whether the person deserves such treatment or not---In fact, it is the gravity of misconduct and charges which predominately guides the exercise of judicial review.
