Shc Orders Halt On Teacher Salary Deductions In Sindh

On February 26, 2026, the Sindh High Court (SHC) issued a significant ruling halting any deductions from the salaries and pensions of teachers, responding to a petition from both retired and serving educators. The court's decision came after a challenge to the cessation of the time-scale policy, which had previously allowed teachers to receive salaries in grades 15 to 20. Asadullah Baloch, the lawyer for the petitioners, argued that the deductions were unlawful, especially for retired teachers who had been promoted according to departmental rules. The SHC ordered that no involuntary deductions be made until the next hearing, scheduled three weeks later, highlighting the ongoing struggle teachers face regarding their compensation and benefits (Tribune Latest, 2026).
