| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan declined to grant the leave to appeal against the judgment of the Punjab Subordinate Judiciary Service Tribunal, which had dismissed the claim of a civil servant for a special allowance based on the LL.M. degree in addition to the allowance for his Ph.D. degree. The Court found that there was no existing rule or policy that entitled the petitioner to such an allowance. The Tribunal's decision was deemed reasonable and unexceptionable, and therefore, the petition was dismissed with no order as to costs. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the petitioner's claim for a special allowance based on his LL.M. degree in addition to the Ph.D. allowance that he was already receiving. The Punjab Subordinate Judiciary Service Tribunal had previously dismissed his appeal, leading to this petition for leave to appeal at the Supreme Court level. The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, stating that there was no rule or government policy allowing for the dual allowance. The case highlights the importance of clear regulations regarding civil servant allowances and the interpretation of educational qualifications in the context of financial compensations.
