| Decision |
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal in the case concerning the house rent allowance for government servants. The petitioner, Mrs. Akhtar Usman, contended that the Office Memorandum issued by the Government of Pakistan allowed one spouse employed by the Federal Government to receive house rent allowance while the other spouse employed by an autonomous body would be governed by the rules of that body. The Court found merit in examining whether the appeal before the Federal Service Tribunal was time-barred, thus allowing the case to proceed for further consideration. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the issue of house rent allowance entitlement for government employees, specifically focusing on the implications of an Office Memorandum dated 11-1-1981. Mrs. Akhtar Usman, a government employee, had surrendered her official accommodation to live with her husband, who was employed by a statutory body. After starting to draw house rent allowance, she faced demands for refund from the Accountant-General. The case highlights the intersection of employment regulations and family circumstances, as the Court scrutinized the applicability of the rules governing house rent allowance in light of the dual employment situation. Keywords include 'house rent allowance', 'government servants', 'employment regulations', and 'legal appeal'. |
