Section:

Civil Servants Act (LXXI of 1973)-------Ss. 23 & 8---Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art. 212(3)---Seniority--­Civil servant's sole grievance was that his date of appointment in BS-17 should be considered 1-4-1973 instead of 1-1-11974 as treated by Departmental Authorities and affirmed by Service Tribunal ---Validity--­Service Tribunal was right in holding that petitioner having joined service as work-charged employee in 1973, his such service was regularised in 1981 from earlier date i.e., 1-1-1974, he should have challenged date of regularisation before appropriate forum within stipulated period but he failed to do so---Civil servant's silence to snake such move would go a long way to protecting interests of respondents---Civil servant's regularisation, however, having been made effective from 1-4-1974 by President in exercise of powers under S.23, Civil Servants Act, 1973, same could not be undone by any subordinate agency---Service Tribunal was also right in holding that grievance of civil servant related to order dated 23-4-1981 against which he filed representation after lapse of ten months on 20-2-1982---Civil servant's representation was, thus, clearly belated and on that ground alone, his appeal was rightly dismissed by Service Tribunal---No question of law of public importance having been raised by civil servant to warrant interference leave to appeal was refused.
