Order on Appeal No 1879-04/22 Nadeem Umer Vs Ministry of Finance

The Appellant has sought access to specific rules / policy/ documents / regulation governing advance increments given to employees.

Instead of providing specifically requested rules / policy/ documents / regulations pertaining to the issue of advanced increments given to federal employees, the Respondent submitted that “at present no scheme for the grant of advance increments on the basis of qualifications/ experience is operative for in service Federal Government Employees”.

This commission holds that the response of the Respondent is generic in nature and does not address the information request.

This commission also   maintains that the requested rules / policy/ documents / regulations pertaining to the advanced increments of federal public employees are public documents. The Respondent is not only obligated to provide these documents to the Appellant on request but also legally bound to proactively publish these documents on its web site as a legal requirement under Section 5 of the Act, 2017.
