Lahore High Court (LHC) declared the notification of appointment of CCPO Lahore Ahmed Raza Tahir as null and void. CJ LHC Khawaja Muhammad Sharif said that this kind of appopintment was not expected from Punjab government. A division bench comrising Khawaja Muhammad Anwer and Justice Waqar Hassan Mir hear the suo moto notice case. Advocate General Punjab Khawaja Haris said that allegations against CCPO Lahore have not been proved. On this, CJ LHC said that he is supporting the wrongdoing. Khawaja Sharif said that the court would not turn a blind eye on the acts of Punjab government. He remarked that inquiry tribunal for Gojra incident was constituted at that time when LHC was short of judges. He maintained that Gojra incident earned the bad name for Pakistan in all over the world but Punjab government appointed an irresponsible person as CCPO Lahore. LHCs Chief Justice Khawja Muhammed Sharif yesterday had directed the government to withdraw its notification for the appointment of CCPO Ahmed Raza Tahir. The court had warned Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif to take back his governments notification for the appointment of CCPO Tahir by today; otherwise, the court will take action. But, no action was taken by the Punjab government, on this, the court declared null and void the notification regarding the appointment Tahir as Lahore CCPO.
