Islamabad High Court (IHC) tribunal suspended on Thursday Order To bring retired Major General Hafeezur Rehman from his position as chairman of the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA).
A judge composed of Justices Muhammad Asif and Inaam Ameen Minhas appealed Rehman’s appeal against the earlier ruling, which was issued on Tuesday, was ordered on Tuesday to order the PTA chief to dismiss him “illegal” position.
Justice Sattar in a request made by digital rights activist Usama Khilji in 2023, following his order rule The creation of membership (administrative) positions in the PTA and subsequently appointing Rehman as the chairman of the PTA is “unconstitutional, illegal and invalid from scratch”.
Rehman questioned his decision within hours of the announcement.
Today, advocate Qasim Wadud serves as the attorney to the PTA chairman, while the Attorney General (AAG) Salman Mansoor also made his argument.
At the beginning of the hearing, the man’s ear contained “relief” that “no petition was granted in the orders of Justice Satar.”
“Neither the rules are questioned nor the notice to the Attorney General. It is necessary to issue notice to the Attorney General,” he said.
AAG further argues that requests sought in no petition cannot be Article 199 (Judgement of the High Court) Constitution.
“The court itself said the whole argument was not completed yet,” the man’s ear said.
“You have enough opportunities,” Judge Asif said in a speech at the lawyer of the chairman of the PTA.
Vadud then went to the podium and said: “In a written petition, the appointment of the PTA chairman cannot be appointed (because) the vacancy was mispropaganda.
“(But) the rules have been changed, the (federal) cabinet has been approved and then the appointment has been made,” he said.
“The rules have been modified March 25(2023), and then filed a petition. ” the lawyer added.
Recruitment process “suffered from legal malicious intentions”
Justice Satar’s earlier verdict pointed out that the Post’s advertisement was published on March 28, 2023, and the advertisement was published when there was no legal position. Later amendments to the PTA appointment rules were considered insufficient to formalize appointments.
Judge Satar noted that the recruitment process “has suffered from legal malice” and appears to be tailored to accommodate a particular individual. The higher age limit for the post is 61 years of prescription, while the other members have an age limit of 57 years, is considered to be a further proof of Malafide’s intention.
The court has further heroes, appointing retired Army officials as PTA chairs without transparent and objective selection procedures, “is illegal, irrational and unsustainable in the eyes of the law.”
The judge has ordered that the highest-serving PTA members will temporarily serve as the PTA president’s office for the charges until the federal government appoints the regular chairman.
