It is requested by Officers of (Punjab Local Government Board)Administration wing, which are Chief Officers/Regulations Officers and ExTMA Cadre officers that, the Government of KPK has given Special Admimistrative Allowance (SAA) @ 1.5 Running basic to Admin Group cadre of Kpk (Local Government Board). Job description is same for a TMO serving in KPK Government or Chief officer serving in Punjab or any other province. Such Financial disparity has caused stress and discriminations among the officers of Same cadre.
Further, Article 25 dictates that all are equal before law and entitled to equal protection of law which is also the basic concept of Islam under which all persons similarly placed in similar circumstances must be treated alike and when certain rights were made available to one or more persons similarly placed then all such persons similarly placed with them would stand entitled to such rights. militate against the concept of equality and equality in service as enshrined in Articles-25&27 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973.
Therefore as per Article 25 of the 1973 constitution of Pakistan and various judgments of the august supreme court of Pakistan, good governance demands that the financial benefit @ of 1.5 basic pay may also be extended to the Officers of Punjab Local Government Board( Admin Wing)
