Accounting Procedure of Access to Justice Development Fund, 2005.
Report No. 72

Accounting Procedure of Access to Justice Development Fund, 2005.

Accounting Procedures of Access to Justice Development Fund concurred by the Finance Division and Auditor General of the Pakistan were examined and approved by the Commission in its meeting held on 11-12-2004 and 19-03-2005. During deliberation of the Commission meeting the Secretary PKLJC informed that the principal amount of the AJDF has been invested in the Government Treasury Bills. Furthermore, the requisite procedural formalities to operationalise the AJDF are completed and the High Courts have been requested to constitute appropriate committees and open bank accounts, so that their respective shares of Provincial Judicial Development Fund (PJDF) may be transferred to them. He stated that the Chairman has given approval for appointment against 2 AJDF posts i.e. Research Officer (Fund) in B-18 and Section Officer (Accounts/Audit) in B-17. He said that it will take some time before the new staff is recruited and after induction, they will be on probation for a period of one year. It is therefore inappropriate to handover the responsibility of management of the Fund to the new staff. In the circumstances, the responsibility for management of the Fund be assigned to an existing senior staff member i.e. Deputy Secretary (B-19), who will manage the Fund under the supervision of the Secretary. The proposal was approved.
