The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday rejected a petition demanding the same facilities for retired army officers as sitting officers.

Justice Nasir Saeed Sheikh of LHC heard the petition filed by Soubedar Naeem Ahmed. Through the appeal, he requested the court to issue directives for facilitating the retired army officers with the same benefits as those of sitting officers.

The petitioner was of the view that a minimum quota had been allocated for retired army employees in the pension and housing facilities which was not justified.

Justice Nasir Saeed rejected the petition saying court could not be moved against armed forces.
