Notice has been issued to Federal Employees Housing Foundation to show cause for non-compliance of directives which the Lahore High Court had issued earlier for accommodating the employees of the Federal Shariat Court in the official housing schemes of Capital Development Authority.
The orders were passed by a single Bench of LHC, Rawalpindi bench comprising of Justice Muhammad Muzzamil Khan on Wednesday on a complaint from the employees welfare association of the Federal Shariat Court.
The Association recalled an earlier order of the LHC directing the Foundation to share five percent of its quota of plots reserved for the government employees in each new sector opened for development with the FSC employees.
In the recent offerings made in G-12 and G-13 sectors, the Association complained the Foundation had allotted 25 plots to 60 employees of the LHC, 25 plots to the 190 employees of the Election Commission while just 18 plots were offered to the 222 employees of the FSC.
The next date for hearing will be fixed after the Rawalpindi Bench of the LHC receives an explanation from the Foundation.
Advocate Abdur Rahman Siddiqui appeared for FSC Employees Welfare Association.
