Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi Order Date: 27-FEB-26
In view of the above discussion, the refusal of the Respondents to consider and include the Petitioner???s adhoc service towards qualifying service for pension, despite extending similar benefits to other similarly placed officers, appears to be arbitrary and discriminatory, and not sustainable in law. 14. Consequently, the impugned order dated 23.09.2024 is declared to be without lawful justification and of no legal effect, and the competent authority of Respondents is directed to recompute the pension and pensionary benefits of the Petitioner by counting his adhoc service from 22.10.1996 to 30.04.2001 as regular service for all intents and purposes, including consequential benefits, strictly in accordance with law. The aforesaid exercise shall be undertaken within two weeks without fail. 15. The petition, along with pending application(s), is disposed of in the above terms.
