Article on PTCL Pensioners and the Continuing Struggle for Justice

 English Article Article on PTCL Pensioners and the Continuing Struggle for Justice . Why the Restrictive Interpretation of PTET Regarding Government Pension Is Legally Unsustainable For more than a decade, thousands of retired employees of the former Telegraph & Telephone (T&T) Department, later Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC), and ultimately PTCL, have been struggling to obtain their lawful pensionary rights. These pensioners are not asking for charity, favour, or discretionary relief. They are demanding implementation of rights already protected by law and repeatedly recognized by the superior courts of Pakistan. Unfortunately, instead of implementing the spirit and letter of the Supreme Court judgments, PTET and PTCL have continued to create unnecessary obstacles, artificial classifications, and legal confusion. One of the most controversial aspects of the present dispute is the changing and contradictory position adopted by PTET. After the Supreme Court or...

Detail analysis on the Status of T&T Employees as Civil Servants vs Workman

 Detail  analysis on the Status of T&T Employees as Civil Servants vs Workman Interpretation of Paragraph 18 & 19 of the Supreme Court Judgment (July 10, 2025). Let us first see what said by Honourable CJ Justice Yahya  Afridi about Civil Servant-Workman Distinction in Paragraph 18 &19 the Supreme Court Judgment (July 10, 2025) which is as under “Dismissal of the Civil Servant-Workman Distinction Para 18.

 Note :English version of my  Urdu Article-41 of dated 27-11-2017 generated by AI ChatGPT Article-41 The Trust Deed and the Legal Obligation to Pay PTCL Pensioners Pension According to Federal Government Pension Rules Introduction A large number of PTCL employees and pensioners are either unaware of, or only vaguely familiar with, the Trust Deed under which pension benefits for former T&T, PTC and PTCL employees were intended to be protected and paid.

The significance of this Trust Deed lies in the fact that it was created specifically to ensure that these employees and pensioners would continue to receive pensionary benefits equiva...

Comparative Review and Critical Analysis of the Senate Standing Committee Report on PTCL/PTET Pension Issue

1. What the Committee Clearly Established The Committee clearly stated that from 01-01-1996 to 30-06-2010, all PTCL pensioners, including superannuated and VSS pensioners, were paid pension and annual increases according to Government of Pakistan pension principles. This 15-year practice created a binding precedent. The Committee further held that from 01-07-2010 PTET introduced curtailed pension increases for the first time, which were less than GoP-notified increases. The Committee treated this as a violation of: 1. Telecom Re-organization Act, 1996 2. GoP guarantee 3. PTCL Board counter-guarantee 4. Fifteen years’ past practice 5. Supreme Court judgment of 2015 The Committee also noted that the Ministry of Law and Justice had already clarified in 2013 that transferred employees’ rights were protected and that GoP pension increases were applicable to them. 2. PTCL’s Influence Over PTET The most serious finding is that PTET was working under the influence of PTCL. ...
