Judgment text as reported

IJAZ BADSHAH VS SECRETARY, ESTABLISHMENT DIVISION, GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN, CABINET BLOCK, CONSTITUTION AVENUE, ISLAMABAD S. 6---Civil service---Dismissal from service---Unauthorized leave---Civil servant in possession of five different passports travelling abroad frequently without obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from competent authority---In the present case, the magnitude of charges and the conduct of the petitioner (civil servant) explicated that, despite having full knowledge that, being a civil servant in BPS-19, he was not allowed to travel abroad without NOC and approval issued by the competent authority, he still travelled on different passports by deception and impersonation as a businessman---Moreover, , it was not understandable as to how he was in possession of five different passports, and frequently travelled using them without NOC, but nobody could check or trace such illegality and impropriety---Punishment of dismissal from service in the present case awarded to the petitioner was proportionate and reasonable to the act of misconduct committed by him, hence he does not deserve any indulgence for conversion of his punishment from dismissal of service to compulsory retirement---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed.
