Punjab Government Oct 2013 Advice to Wait for Supreme Court Orders on Appeals Against LHC Orders Regarding Increases on Restored Pension

Here I am discussing with detail about the case of Restoration of Pension for the Punjab Govt Pensioners. Writ Petition No.22550/2013 [submitted by Mr. Sardar Ali, pensioner since 8 Dec 1995] was disposed of by Lahore High Court with the orders to Secretary Finance Department Punjab, to treat the matter as a representation from the petitioner and decide it in the light of judgement as per 2011 PLC (C.S) 580, as well as judgement in Writ Petition No. 21545/2011 dated 17 November 2011.

Clarification of the Concept of Double Pension & Restoration of Pension

Some press reporters are partly responsible for giving misapprehensions and false hopes to the 75 years and more old pensioners that their pensions would be doubled as per court orders.  The news items led them to believe that whatever they were drawing before reaching the age of 75, they would start getting twice that amount (once the relevant orders are implemented) from the date of their 75th birthday.  And those who indeed pinned up such high hopes better abandon the same.  Yes, theoretically it is still possible if no increase in pension was allowed during the 15 years’ period after retirement at the age of 60. I will provide here the Clarification of the Concept of Double Pension at 75 Years/Restoration of Pension.
