2. The petitioners are ad hoc Officers and, therefore, do not fall within this category. They filed-an appeal before the Tribunal which took note of their submissions and expressed itself in favour of their demand and disposed of the appeal without issuing any direction. Hence this petition for special leave to appeal.
3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners who base their claims upon the decision of the Provincial Co-ordination Committee. The various Provincial sGovernments are not bound under any law by decisions of the Provincial Co-ordination Committee which becomes effective in -a Province only upon the Provincial Government's accepting the same. The petitioners have, therefore, no case on the legal plain. In fact, they should thank their stars that the Tribunal has made a recommendation which, of course, they could use in representing their case before the Govermnent in their favour. This petition is, therefore, dismissed.
Petition dismissed.
