Judgment text as reported

ASAD IMRAN VS INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, PUNJAB, LAHORE Police official---Death on duty---Incentive for legal heirs---Petitioners challenged the vires of the order passed by District Scrutiny Committee whereby the request for grant of due incentives to family of deceased Assistant Sub-Inspector by declaring him as 'murdered during duty (Shaheed)' was not acceded to---Validity---District Scrutiny Committee had declined the request of the petitioners and had proposed following categories to be considered as "Shaheed" viz. killed in encounters; bomb blast; death in riots; death during watch and ward duty and terrorist activities leading to death of official---Committee without referring to any law/rules/policy had itself proposed that even murder of a police officer while on duty was not covered under the Shaheed Package, if the same had been committed for personal motives and not in consequence of performance of his duty---Ex facie, this finding had been given just to target the case of the petitioners---However, if this was considered to be the threshold, even then the case of the petitioners needed consideration as no personal motive had been found in the murder of the deceased, rather he was murdered while performing his duties in his office---Constitutional petition was allowed and the deceased was declared as "Shaheed", thus, his legal heirs were held entitled to the consequential benefits.
