Follow-up to PAK41937.E of 7 October 2003 on the retirement provisions for military officers; meaning and significance of a retirement order that states "compulsory (premature compulsory due to no fault of officer)"; circumstances under which a colonel would not be transferred to the reserves upon retirement (1993-2003) [PAK42359.E]

According to the Second Secretary at the High Commission for Pakistan, in Ottawa, the clause "Compulsory (premature compulsory due to no fault of the Officer)" applies to

officers who are compulsorily retired from [the] Army due to [a] weak record of service and officers seeking retirement at their own request after 20 years of service (29 Dec. 2003).

The Second Secretary added that colonels, or any officer ranking above a colonel, are not transferred to the reserves after they retire (HCP 29 Dec. 2003).

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
