Published October 31, 2003

ISLAMABAD, Oct 30: As many as 32 teachers of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) colleges in Islamabad and Rawalpindi on Thursday moved the Federal Services Tribunal (FST) for their treatment as civil servants.

The FST admitted their applications for regular hearing and directed the deputy chief of air staff (education) to respond to the court by December 20.

The FST bench was headed by its chairman Justice Amanullah Abbasi and comprised member Rasheed Ahmad Baloch.

The applicants pleaded that all the employees of the PAF colleges were declared civil servants by the Supreme Court in 1997, but the apex court order has not yet been implemented. They submitted that they had filed contempt petition in the Supreme Court, however, it remanded the case to the FST.—PPI
