Employees of Constitutional Bodies held entitled to allotment of plots in FGEHF schemes

Ch. Imran Hassan Ali, Advocate, represented the successful appellants in an Intra-Court Appeal before a Division Bench of the Honourable Islamabad High Court. Two Appellants were Deputy Secretaries and one was Joint Secretary in the National Assembly Secretariat. They applied for allotment of plots in schemes developed by the Federal Government Employees Housing Foundation (FGEHF). Their applications were rejected. FGEHF was of the view that emloyees of Constitutional Bodies like the National Assembly and Senate of pakistan etc. are not entitled to allotment of plots under FGEHF policy. The Appellants initially filed a Writ Petition, which was dismissed by a judge-in-chambers. They then engaged Ch. Imran Hassan Ali for an Intra-Court Appeal. They had retired in the meanwhile. The appeal was heard by a Division Bench on 30-09-2013, when it was allowed. The Court held that the employees of Constitutional Bodies, inlcuding the appellants, are entitled to allotment of plots in their respective categories.
