MALIK MUHAMMAD QAYYUM, J. -- This judgment ,shall dispose of W.P. No. 10430/91 and W.P. No. 15086/95 in which same controversy is involved.
2. In these petitions the petitioners who are working as Assistant Income Tax Officers claim that as they are performing the duties of Income Tax Officers they are entitled to draw the pay of the Income Tax Officers and have been wrongfully deprived of the same. It is explained that the nature of duties which the petitioners are performing are exactly the same as of the Income Tax Officers but they are being paid lesser.
3. On the fact of it these petitions are barred by Article 212 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. The payment of emoluments is directly relatable to terms and conditions of civil servant which admittedly the petitioners are. If the petitioners have any grievance they should seek their remedy before the Tribunal constituted under Services Tribunal Act, 1973.
4. In view of the above, this petition is dismissed with no order as to costs.
