While discussing the matter of problems faced by pensioners in Levis personnel who performed duties in Kurram and Orakzai Districts in erstwhile FATA, the Committee was told that some officers worked beyond the age of superannuation and were being given salaries as well pensions so the ministry of SAFRON had to recover some amount from the ones overpaid and had to be diverted to other retired employees. The case is subjudice in Supreme Court so the committee decided to wait for the court decision before giving any directions. The matter of charging holidays fee by private educational institutions was deferred by the Committee due to absence of mover.
