Pakistan's chaos is not hidden from anyone. Now a struggle is being seen between the Judiciary of Pakistan and the power there. Meanwhile, the report that has come out is even more shocking. The figures presented by The News International quoting the Public Accounts Committee are enough to blow one's senses. In fact, the salaries of Supreme Court judges are more than that of the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan. The salary of the Chief Justice of Pakistan is 7 times more than that of the Wazir-e-Azam of Pakistan. Let's try to understand in the language of statistics, who has how much salary at present.

Whose salary

The salary of the Chief Justice is the highest in Pakistan. After that comes the number of other judges of the Supreme Court. In terms of salary, the President of the country is on the third position, and the Prime Minister gets less salary than other ministers and federal secretaries of the government. In the Public Accounts Committee, Chairman Noor Khan informed the members that the salary of the President of Pakistan is 896,550 Pakistani rupees, and the Prime Minister gets 201,574 Pakistani rupees. At the same time, the Chief Justice of Pakistan gets 1,527,399 Pakistani rupees. Other judges of the Supreme Court are given 1,470,711 Pakistani rupees as salary. The salary of federal ministers is 338,125 Pakistani rupees.

The committee had asked for the report

The Pakistani MP gets a salary of 188,000 PKR while a Grade-22 officer gets 591,475 PKR. The News International reported that the PAC had sought details about the perks and privileges enjoyed by the President of Pakistan, Prime Minister, Chief Justice of Pakistan and other Supreme Court judges. The registrar of the Supreme Court of Pakistan did not appear before the PAC on Tuesday to audit the expenses of the Supreme Court over 10 years. The committee has called him again for the meeting to be held next Tuesday and has warned him to issue warrants if he does not appear. As per reports, the members of the committee expressed their anger over the absence of the registrar.

Supreme Court accounts do not come under the ambit of PAC.

According to the report of The News International, Noor Khan said that if the Principal Accounts Officer of the Supreme Court of Pakistan does not appear before the PAC, then why should other institutions be held accountable. He said that the registrar had written a letter that the matter of audit of accounts of the Supreme Court is sub judice and does not come under the purview of the PAC and it is not legally bound to appear before the committee.
