| Decision |
The petition was dismissed as the petitioners, who were appointed on a temporary basis in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), had not completed the required ten years of continuous service to be entitled to the House Building Advance (HBA). The court found that the petitioners could not substantiate their claim of being permanent employees of NAB. The references made to salary slips were deemed insufficient to prove their employment status. The court concluded that the conditions for granting HBA to temporary government servants were not met, thus upholding the decision made by the NAB authorities. |
| Summary |
The case C.P No. 618 of 2016 was heard in the Quetta High Court, involving petitioners who sought to challenge the rejection of their House Building Advance (HBA) applications by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The petitioners argued that they were permanent employees entitled to HBA, despite being appointed on a temporary basis. The court emphasized the legal requirements outlined in the General Financial Rules, which stipulate that temporary government servants must complete ten years of continuous service to qualify for HBA. The court's decision highlighted the importance of adhering to these regulations, thereby reinforcing legal compliance within government employment structures. This case serves as a critical reference for employees seeking similar benefits and underscores the necessity of understanding employment classifications within government agencies. |
