My Tweet of dated 3rd Aug 20 to HCJ
The Hon'ble Chief Justice of Pakistan is kindly requested to take suo motu action and abide by the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court dated June12, 2015 on all 40,000 PTCL pensioners in accordance with its spirit. Thanks
Appeal
There is hardly any other institution in Pakistan like the Board of Trustees of PTET which with this arrogance openly and grossly disobeys the orders of the Honourable Supreme Court and the Court for its disrespect and harsh action against it. A three-member bench of the Supreme Court on 12th June 2015 , directed , in case PTCL others Vs Muhammad Arif (2015 SCMR 1472) , to the Board of Trustees , that they are bound to pay the pension increases as per Government announcement to the PTCL employees who have been retired from PTCL after their transfer from T&T to Corporation and Company . But the Board of Trustees of the Trust continued to grant pension increments at their own discretion and still going on against the order which had been running illegally since July 1, 2010, and despite its dismissal of its review petition on May 17, 2017, they did not give up . Yearly notifications for increase of pension are being issued at their own discretion. And , now so much so , they curtailed it and has even limited the 8% 6.5% increases for those who have been normally retired and 5.5% for those , who have been retired by adopting VSS. The government has never issued such type notifications. By doing all this, the Board of Trustees has shown how much respect they have for the orders of the Supreme Court???Surprisingly, on February 15, 2018, in the contempt of court cases of PTCL Pensioners Petitioners against PTET, a two-member bench of the Honourable Supreme Court, at the behest of his lawyer Shahid Anwar Bajwa, directed for payment such GoP pension within 15 days to all the petitioners except to those who had been retired after adopting VSS .This means that two esteemed judges amended the decision of six judges. They had no any such legal authority. The decision was ultra -vires as not judicially enforceable. Because the decision of three judges of dated June 15, 2015 up held by three more judges dismissing their review petition on May 17, 2017 , was sealed as final, which now had no room for any other review for any amendment. According to the MD of the Trust Hamid, Farooq , the Board of Trustees has full authority to determine their pension at their own discretion, sternly rejecting the court order . The order of apex court is superior one as they could not go against it by any way
We again appeal to His Excellency Mr. Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed to have mercy on these poor old pensioners and widows of PTCL for the sake of Allah and let the order of this HSCP of dated 15th June 2015 be got implemented from this cruel Board of Trustees in true sprit upon all 40,000 PTCL pensioners in accordance to rules and principle laid down , of HSCP in this connection .Thanking you very much.
All PTCL pensioners
