The Islamabad High Court on Friday stopped the Ministry of Defense from giving extension to the retired officers of National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM). Justice Riaz Ahmad Khan was hearing the case filed by some junior employees of NESCOM through their counsel, Advocate Raja Saifur Rehman.
Raja submitted before the court that the Supreme Court in its judgment on Hajj corruption case had held that no officer would be given extension after the age of retirement because it blocked the promotion of junior officers who had to keep on waiting for their promotions.
The petitioners quoted the defence secretary, the National Command Authority (NCA) DG, the NESCOM chairman and others as respondents. The counsel contended that the NESCOM management, in violation of the apex court judgment, had prepared a summary of retired officers to grant them extensions after their age of superannuation, He added 23 officers were already working against permanent posts on contract at the ESCOMand after their retirement. He also named the officers who were to be granted extensions after their age of superannuation. They are: M Irfan Burney, Anwar Muzaffar, Amjad Jamal Ghouri, Col Ruhullah Malik, Anees Baig, Col Nisar, M Aslam Chaudhry, M Arshad Mahmood, Mumtaz Ali Khan, Sohail-ur-Rehman and Col Khalid Maqbool.
He prayed to the court to stay the extension of all retired officers and to start contempt proceedings against the NESCOM management for ignoring the SC judgment in the said matter.

  1. NESCOM status is not clear & it quote that it can implement its own policies & do not accept/follow civil sevant ACT 1973. A dept funded by by M/O Finace, working for Govt./ M.O Defence cannot voilate Govt Rules.

  2. However all or many still enjoying the perks and privileges even after the clear instruction or orders so if any please peruse the matter to the concerned authorities. Further NESCOM is becoming another welfare organization for retired officers specially those who didn't nothing and unable to find good salary in private sector.

  3. There are many white elephants / dead bodies in PMO as well like Brig Retd Shaukat Aslam almost 68 year old, can't walk, talk or even write. But his wife is very smart and is through with Mrs DG SPD & Mrs DG PMO. so is successfully sucking the blood of PMO & NESCOM. May God Bless our country.

  4. Unfortunately nobody can speak against, defence forces,and judiciary. He will be charged with treason. We know how many blue eyed employees are given extension in contracts in NESCOM. there are people who are more than 67 years but have good connections with higher ups.
    This is in total disregard of Supreme Court orders.
    Believe it or not , no body can save this country with so much corruption around and where courts are helpless when they are in the line of fire.
    God help this country
