The Finance Department has sent a copy of this Notification to Registrar Lahore High Court. They have also sent a copy to all the District & Seccion Judges in Punjab province.
For the information of the employees and pensioners, Sindh Government has recently issued Notification Payment of Salary, Pension, GP Fund etc. The same benefits the Government postponed till this financial year.
This is totally not justified and a clear cut favor to only some of those who are already getting handsome salaries and one of such case CSP Saqib Nisar have told some BS-19 officer that my driver take more salary than you?????? this is matter of thinking and point to consider for our rulers, why they only keep on feeding the already filled stomach of judiciary??? for God sake treat all equally, everybody need this so called utility allowance as all are facing huge inflation and price rise of each and everything?? Judiciary must also think that by taking this kind of extra-ordinary benefits they are also not earning good name for themselves. We therefore strongly demand and request all the Provincial/Federal Govt to kindly give same kind of utility allowances of all employees so all can live with peace of mind.
