1. The petitioner was working as a Primary School Teacher in the Government Boys Primary School No.2. Jut Lines, .Karachi and was transferred to Ibrahim Ruben G.B.P.S, Firdous Colony, Nazimabad, Karachi in August 2001. However his last payment certificate (LPC) was not issued and therefore he was unable to draw his salary ever since June 2001, he assumed duties at the new place of posting.
2. He addressed various letters to officers at all levels i.e. Concerned Assistant District Officer, Education upto the Chief Secretary to the Provincial Government as well as the legal notice through his counsel but received no redress. On 4.12.2003 the petitioner's representation was passed on by the Provincial Government to the E.D.O, Education which was followed by reminder dated 16th February, 2004. Nevertheless almost a full year was allowed to pass and the petitioner was constrained to approach this Court through this petition. Upon pre-admission notice the respondents No.1&2 have personally appeared along with the learned counsel and no explanation has been furnished for causing such tremendous delay and depriving a School Teacher from receiving his salary. On the other hand some misleading statements were being made by the respondent No.1 in attempting to absolve himself until he was confronted with documents which he had actually received.
3. Mr. Manzoor Ahmed, learned counsel for the CDGK representing frankly conceded that he had no ground to defend this petition and stated that the L.P.C., was being handed over to the learned counsel for the petitioner in Court today.
4. In the circumstances we would dispose of this petition by ordering that all payments due of the petitioner be made within two weeks from today along with cost of Rs.25,000/- each which may be disbursed by the C.D.G.K, which my be entirely at liberty to recover such amount from the salary of the officers liable for causing such hardship and gross negligence. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the City Nazim, Karachi and Chief Secretary.
