7606/2017 Const. P. Khurram Faizan (Petitioner) V/S Province of Sindh and Ors (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 27-MAY-25
The petitioners' case appears to be similar to that of Muhammad Afzal Soomro, previously decided by this Court, and aligns with I. A Sherwani and others vs. Government of Pakistan, 1991 SCMR 1081. Therefore, in the interest of justice, the postgraduate/LL.M. degree allowance and its benefits should be extended to the employees of the District Judiciary. The purpose behind granting this incentive is evident from the February 8, 2018, notification issued by the Universities and Boards Department, Government of Sindh, which provided a monthly allowance of Rs. 2500/- to Ph.D. degree holders in Public Sector Universities. Consequently, we direct the Finance Secretary, Sindh and Chief Secretary Sindh to examine the petitioners' case considering this notification and the dicta laid down by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the aforementioned case and make a policy decision on the same. 10. The instant petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
