Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD ASLAM VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN through Secretary Ministry of Commerce S.73---Civil service---Termination from service---Master and servant---Compensation for loss or damage caused by breach of contract---Scope---Plaintiff filed a suit against his termination from the defendant company---Validity---Plaintiff was appointed by the company when it acquired corporate status, and their relationship was governed by the master and servant rule---Plaintiff had relied on the Human Resource Manual, which suggested that termination could be done without assigning any reason or as a retrenchment measure, provided a notice of three months or payment in lieu thereof was given---Defendant had offered final settlement to the plaintiff after completing the required formalities---Employee could not force his employer to continue his services as it would disrupt the entire internal mechanism and workings of the corporate sector---Therefore, the suit could, at most, be considered a claim for the recovery of damages due to the alleged unlawful termination and nothing more.
