| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the civil petition for leave to appeal against the High Court's judgment. The case revolved around the entitlement of an employee, Captain (Retd.) M.S. Akhtar, to benefits post-retirement from Pakistan International Airlines Corporation. The High Court had previously ruled in favor of the respondent, affirming that he was entitled to the benefits as per the agreements in place. The Supreme Court found no grounds to interfere with the findings of the lower courts, which had provided cogent reasons for their decisions. The petitioner's arguments regarding the unauthorized nature of a letter concerning benefits were dismissed as lacking merit. Consequently, the Supreme Court refused leave to appeal, resulting in the dismissal of the petition. |
