The bench set aside the high court’s verdict, allowing a 20 per cent increase in salaries of federal govt employees on account of secretariat allowance.
The judges observed the federal govt needs to stop meeting out unfair treatment to its employee.
All employees are entitled to secretariat allowance, the bench ruled.
