5884/2025 Const. P. Muhammad Saleem (Petitioner) V/S Federation of Pakistan & Others (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi Order Date: 10-FEB-26
In view of the above discussion, this Court finds that the petitioner has failed to establish a legal right to lifelong family pension under the applicable rules of the respondent company. The action of the respondent in discontinuing the pension, upon discovering that it was granted in violation of Rule 14(b), cannot be termed as arbitrary or unlawful. The reliance placed on Federal Government pension rules is misconceived, and no case of maladministration or violation of law is made out for invoking constitutional jurisdiction. However keeping in view the precarious condition of Muhammad Asif we deem it proper to dispose of the petition by considering the peculiar circumstances of the case and the disability of Muhammad Asif. The competent authority/ respondent company may examine the matter for any compassionate relief or policy-based assistance as may be permissible under law.
