Law: Constitution of Pakistan, 1973
Section: 199
Summary:
The case concerns the petitioner’s submission of a forged Intermediate Certificate to PIAC to enhance her academic credentials, even though the post required only a Matriculation qualification. She challenged her dismissal and the orders of the lower fora, claiming the forged certificate was immaterial. The court rejected this argument, emphasizing that submission of a forged document, regardless of necessity, amounts to serious misconduct and deliberate deception. The petitioner’s claim of believing the certificate was genuine was found implausible. The dismissal was held valid, and the petition was dismissed.
