• The Federal Services Tribunal, Islamabad in case filed by M/S. Shereshah Malik, and Nishat Ahmed Anjum , conveyed on 21.08.1999 “We find that rate of interest is a matter of yearly basis. Statement of ten years from 1986 to 1996 shows that normal interest and interest + 30% Bonus 14.66% to 15.49% and 19.05% to 20.14% and not at fixed rate of 30%. Learned counsel for the appellants failed to prove his case by providing/ submitting any documents in his support, whereas the respondent-Corporation proved their contentions by filing documents. They have tried to benefit their employees and they sent the case of 30% interest to the Ministry of Information and Finance Division but could not get through by getting positive reply. Hence we are of the view that the appeals have no merit and hereby dismissed with no order as to costs.”
