According to Government of Pakistan rules, government employees who have been assigned government housing can retain that housing for up to 6 months after retirement. This is presumably done so that employees have some breathing room to find new accommodations after leaving public service (and yes, it's a very nice perk). Six months seems reasonable given that finding housing under any circumstances is a hellish task, let alone when done during a major life transition such as retirement and all that comes with it. But moving after retirement seems like a piece of cake compared to having to move when, say, the dictator of your country has summarily and suddenly fired you from your job because you refused to budge from your principles.
This is the situation that the non-PCO judges now find themselves in. The GoP has issued eviction notices to all the non-PCO judges who are in government housing. It's just one more way to humiliate those who dared stand up to Mister General. It's also a sign that he thinks he will get away with this, as he continues to consolidate his latest plan for remaining in power.
