and BADC Disciplinary Case Procedures, 1977 Clause-11 (4) (6) The respondent was dismissed from service under the provisions of the BADC Disciplinary Case Procedures, 1977 — the Ordinance No. V of 1985 is prospective and not retrospective in operation. Therefore the provision of the said section 3(3) is of no avail to the respondent on the facts of the case — the dismissal of an incumbent takes effect from the date of order and not from the date of verdict of conviction and dismissal order is to remain valid unless the order itself is declared void by a court.

The petitioner, having been acquitted of the charge made against him, is entitled to be reinstated to his original post held at the time of suspension /dismissal under section 3 of the Public Servants (Dismissal on Conviction) Ordinance, 1985. The inordinate delay in considering his appeal was good enough reason for the petitioner to be aggrieved and to file the writ petition. If an order in passed without jurisdiction then that is coram-non-judice and the aggrieved person may come for relief under the writ jurisdiction although there is an alternative forum available for redress as has been rightly found by the High Court Division.
