4574/2024 Const. P. Javed Rehmat (Petitioner) V/S Auditor General of Pakistan and Others (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi Order Date: 30-APR-26
In view of the above analysis, it is held that the petitioner???s service in the Utility Stores Corporation does not qualify as government service under the Civil Servants Pension Rules or CSR. The said service was rendered under a separate corporate entity governed by non-statutory rules, and no legal provision exists for its inclusion in federal pension. The petitioner???s contractual appointment in 2006 was explicitly non-pensionable, and only service after regularization in 2012 qualifies for pension. The provisions of CSR regarding counting of past service and condonation of interruption are inapplicable as the essential requirement of qualifying government service is not met. Accordingly, the refusal by the competent authority to include the petitioner???s USC service in pension calculation is found to be lawful, justified, and in accordance with the governing rules. 17. The petition, being devoid of legal merit, is dismissed, along with pending application(s) with no order as to costs.
