- —issued by Services and Gen. Administration Department—whether has force of law—cannot be given preference over statutory provisions—Argument: that the circular being issued by Services and General Administration Department has force of law, is concerned, we have no cavil with this but mere issuance of circular from any department does not make it valid or determine it status unless issuing authority derives the powers from any Statute. In presence of the statutory provision of Civil Servants Act and the rules made thereunder such like circular cannot be given preference over statutory provision. Argument repelled.
