ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday temporarily restored the authority of the deputy commissioner to issue MPO (Maintenance of Public Order).
A division bench comprising IHC Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri issued the order on an application to stay the earlier verdict of a single bench.
It may be recalled that Justice Babar Sattar declared the authority of the Islamabad DC to issue MPO illegal. The chief commissioner and home secretary filed an intra-court appeal against the decision.
