Supreme Court Directs Provincial Services Tribunal to Expedite Resolution

In a recent development, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, has issued a directive to the Provincial Services Tribunal to resolve a pending matter within a month. The bench, which also included Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Athar Minallah, emphasized that the tribunal must adhere to the Supreme Court's decision and the province's 2005 law.

During the hearing, the bench highlighted that appeals against government department decisions should be filed with the services tribunal rather than the high court. This clarification aims to streamline the legal process and ensure that cases are addressed by the appropriate authority.

The directive underscores the importance of following the established legal procedures and utilizing the designated forums for addressing grievances related to government decisions. By directing the Provincial Services Tribunal to expedite the resolution of the pending matter, the Supreme Court is signaling a commitment to efficient and effective justice delivery.
