Judgment & Decree

SARMAD JALAL OSMANY, J.

The grievance of the appellant is that the Punjab Government is not giving 50% Ad hoc Relief Allowance to the members of the district judiciary in Punjab as well as staff attached to the same whereas this allowance has been allowed to the other members of the civil service of the Punjab Government. Per the appellant this is not his individual grievance but pertains to entire district judiciary of the Punjab and therefore office objection to this effect should be overruled.

2. I have heard the appellant who appeared in person and is a judicial officer serving in the Punjab. In the circumstances of the case I am of the opinion that this is not his individual grievance but of the entire Punjab District Judiciary and consequently office objection is overruled. Let the Petition come up for hearing in due course in Court. MWA/M-33/SC Order accordingly.
