The masses should know what salary, perks and privileges are being enjoyed by the judges of the SC
ISLAMABAD
Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly issued directives to Auditor General for Pakistan (AGP) to submit detailed record pertaining to Supreme Court judges’ salary, perks and privileges within a month.
While chairing a meeting of the PAC on Tuesday Noor Alam Khan expressed dismay over failure of the AGP to present a report in pursuance to earlier directives in the matter.
During the meeting Chairman PAC Noor Alam Khan raised a question as to why the AGP failed in presenting a report relating to top court judges’ salary, perks, and privileges.
A private television reported Noor Alam Khan saying the masses should know what salary, perks and privileges are being enjoyed by the judges of the Supreme Court. Khan ordered the AGP to complete an audit of the Supreme Court within 30 days and present the report.
It is pertinent to mention that during last meeting, the PAC has ordered the collection of toll tax from everyone, including politicians, judges and generals saying exemption will be granted to on-duty personnel of the armed forces and police only.
