A day after rejecting the names of PPP and PML-N nominees, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Thursday proposed three names for the slot of chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) with Shoaib Suddle's name on top of the list.
A PTI spokesman said that the party has forwarded three names to the government for the slot of NAB chairman. The PTI nominees are Shoaib Suddle, a former police officer known for his integrity, Muhammad Shahzad Arbab, a former bureaucrat who has served as chief secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under Pervez Khattak administration, and Falak Sher, a former justice of the Supreme Court who was a former Chief Justice of Lahore High Court.
Falak Sher was appointed as chief justice LHC on July 14, 2000. He was appointed as judge of Supreme Court of Pakistan on July 06, 2002. He was deposed from the bench on November 03, 2007 after proclamation of emergency by the then President General Pervez Musharraf.
He reached the age of superannuation on September 22, 2008, while still being deposed. On April 12, 2009, Justice Sher was symbolically restored to his position on November 02, 2007, but since he had reached the age of superannuation he remained retired from the bench. Muhammad Shahzad Arbab, a grade-22 officer of Secretariat Group who had also served as chief secretary KP, was retired on March 6, 2017. His services were handed over to the federal government after Chief Minister Pervez Khattak developed differences with him over the distribution of powers and other issues.
Dr Shoaib Suddle was appointed as federal tax ombudsman on June 03, 2009 for a four-year term. Suddle holds a PhD degree in white-collar crime from Cardiff University (Wales), master degrees in economics, physics and criminology, a degree in law (LLB) and. His doctoral thesis was on nature, extent and control of income tax evasion in Pakistan.
He is the author of several publications and articles on justice sector and tax-related issues, published both in Pakistan and abroad. He has also participated in various international symposia on economic crime, tax reforms, police reforms and corruption control.
His vast administrative experience of over 35 years in addressing public complaints, his in-depth study of tax matters and his law background give him a unique perspective to deal with matters of tax maladministration in his present assignment. In 2000, he worked as consultant in the National Reconstruction Bureau when he co-authored the Police Order 2002, which replaced the 141-year-old police law in Pakistan.
