Preliminary arguments were heard on the previous

date of hearing i.e. 04.06.2018 and the case was fixed for
orders for today.

2. Through the instant appeal, the appellant has


assailed an order dated 18.05.2018 issued by Registrar,
Punjab Emergency Services Academy, whereby she was
relieved from her duties from Medical Wing, Emergency
Services Academy and was directed to report at the respective
district with immediate effect.

3. At the very outset, it has been found that the


Punjab Government Rules of Business-2011 categorize the
Punjab Emergency Service (Rescue 1122) as an autonomous
body and Section 4(2) of Punjab Emergency Service Act, 2006
prescribes this service as a corporate body. Hon'ble Supreme
Court of Pakistan in its judgment reported as 2010 SCMR
1484 has laid down that the jurisdiction of Service Tribunal is
barred in respect of appeals of the employees of the
autonomous bodies. Therefore, the appellant being an
employee of Punjab Emergency Service i.e. an Autonomous
Body, does not fall within the category of Civil Servant and
hence is not entitled to invoke the jurisdiction of this Tribunal.
Therefore, the instant appeal not being maintainable is hereby
dismissed in limine.
