ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday suspended all the postings and transfers made by the caretaker government.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muahammad Chaudhry heard the petition submitted by PML-N leader Khwaja Asif against the postings of 13 high ranking officials.
The postings include MDs of Sui Southern and Northern Gas Pipelines, Chairman NHA, Chairman NEPRA, MD Pakistan Mineral, Chairman National Fertilisers, MD OGDC, DG FIA and officers of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority.
