PAKISTAN | On the intervention of Ombudsman Sindh, pensionary dues were paid to retired government teacher

The complainant, a retired High School Teacher (HST), approached the Provincial Ombudsman Sindh, Mr. Ajaz Ali Khan, with the complaint that the District Accounts Office, Naushahro Feroze, did not pay his pension dues, despite the completion of requisite formalities and the department was delaying the matter on flimsy pretexts. 

To redress the grievance of the complainant, Ombudsman Sindh issued directives to the authorities concerned to initiate an enquiry against the officers/officials responsible for inordinate delay in resolving the matter of the retired teacher. Due to intervention of the Ombudsman, a scrutiny process was expedited and the entire outstanding pension and commutation dues amounting to Rs. 3,279,475/- were paid to the retired HST.

The complainant appreciated and thanked the Ombudsman Sindh for the prompt action in redressing his grievance.
