Government Employee Disputes, Promotions, Pension, Service Tribunal
Government servants in Pakistan have specific legal protections and remedies under the Civil Servants Act 1973, Government Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, and relevant Service Tribunal legislation.

We challenge illegal dismissals, removals from service, and compulsory retirement orders through departmental appeals and Service Tribunal petitions.
We represent government servants in disputes regarding seniority, out-of-turn promotions, and blocked career progression through legal channels.
We advise civil servants facing departmental proceedings, represent them before Inquiry Officers, and assist in preparing defence replies to charge sheets.
We recover unpaid pension, commuted pension, gratuity, and post-retirement benefits owed to retired government servants and their families.
We file constitutional petitions in the Lahore High Court against unlawful service actions where Service Tribunal jurisdiction is unavailable or where fundamental rights are violated.
