Summary:
The Petitioner challenged a Fact Finding Inquiry Report and suspension order for 120 days issued by FBR officials. The Petitioner argued that prior tax refund cases in favor of a taxpayer proved mala fide intent behind the disciplinary proceedings. The Court held that the ongoing disciplinary process is valid, not yet concluded, and judicial interference is not justified. The Petitioner’s arguments based on earlier judgments and lack of final order were found insufficient, but the Court noted that previously decided matters should be considered in the proceedings. The Petition was disposed of.
