About Company
In Pakistan, the establishment of an Ombudsman Institution had been advocated for some time before Article 276 of the Interim Constitution of 1972 provided for the appointment of a Federal Ombudsman & Provincial Ombudsmen. The Constitution of 1973 also provided for a Federal Ombudsman, & the institution was eventually created through the Establishment of the Office of Wafaqi Mohtasib (Ombudsman) Order, 1983.It started functioning on 8 August 1983 & The Ombudsman has headquarters in Islamabad. The Mohtasib is empowered to award compensation to those who have suffered loss or damage as a result of maladministration. Excluded from jurisdiction, however, are personal grievances or service matters of a public servant as well as matters relating to foreign affairs, national defence, & the armed services. This institution is designed to bridge the gap between administrator & citizen, to improve administrative processes & procedures, & to help curb misuse of discretionary powers.
