Noor Ahmad Noori, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner.

Nemo for Respondent.

Date of hearing : 26th November 1975.

The petitioner who is employed as Stenographer in the Prime Minister's Secretariat (Public) as froth 4‑4‑1973 feels aggrieved by the order of the Service Tribunal Islamabad dated 17‑3:1975 in appeal No. 58 (R)/75 whereby the Tribunal declined to allow tile advantage of his previous service in. terms of the Establishment Division OM ,No. 6/15/48.

M.E. dated 31‑3‑1951, prior to his appointment as Stenographer in the Prime Ministers Secretariat. On the examination of the record, the Tribunal found that the petitioner was appointed as Stenographer in the Prime Minister's Secretariat on his own request and had the option to refuse the appointment and therefore his previous service elsewhere in other departments cannot count towards the seniority as Stenographer in the Prime Minister's Secretariat.

We have heard the learned Advocate‑on‑Record for the petition and we do not think that the case involves a substantial question of law of public importance which is an essential condition under clause (3) of Article 212 of the Constitution for grant of leave.

The petition is accordingly dismissed.

Petition dismissed.
