PESHAWAR:
The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Monday issued orders to pay pensions to the retired employees of Islamia College immediately and approved a writ petition filed in this regard.
The hearing was conducted by a two-member bench comprising Justice Lal Jan Khattak and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah.
The counsel for 262 ex-employees, including their widows, Advocate Nazir Ahmad, told the court that the petitioners were employees of Islamia College and had retired before the establishment of Islamia College University.
However, in August 2022, Peshawar University stopped the pensions of these employees.
