ATV liquidation order has now moved into its final phase as the Islamabad High Court directed Shalimar Recording and Broadcasting Company Limited to release all employees by the end of November. The official notice, issued on 24 November 2025, confirmed that the channel will end every employment category as part of the supervised winding-up process.
Employees Asked To Submit All Work Before Exit
The administration instructed staff to finish duties and complete handovers by 28 November. Employees must return files, official devices, media storage, passwords, documents, and any materials linked to their role. The management also assigned focal persons from finance, engineering, technical teams, and station operations to ensure a smooth shift.
The order applies to regular, contract, deputed, temporary, and daily-wage employees. It also includes broadcast resource persons and anyone holding additional or officiating charges. Even staff currently on leave must report back for clearance.
Employees must also provide CNIC copies, bank details, contact information, and a clearance acknowledgment. The Administration Office will verify everything before processing final exit records.
The finance team will calculate dues under SRBC rules and applicable laws. These dues include gratuity where applicable, leave encashment, pending salary differences, and other legitimate claims. Payments will depend on available liquidation funds and the priority sequence approved by the court.
Management clarified that this decision does not count as punishment or disciplinary action. It is a direct result of the ATV liquidation order, which requires a complete shutdown of operations under court supervision. Copies of the notice have already been circulated to all relevant ministries and departments.
