The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ordered the government to take back the notification of the appointment of Wasim Ahmed as Federal Investigation Agency Director General, besides other contract officers. Hearing the Haj corruption case, the SC has given a deadline of Thursday to the government to revert the notification, saying if the government does not take the notification back, the court will pass orders for its nullification.
The government’s lawyer Abdul Hafeez Pirzada asked the court not to mix Haj-scam case with the case of contract officers. The chief justice said Haj scam probe was not progressing due to contract officers, so that both cases could not be separated.
