The Lahore High Court has been urged to restrain public office holders, ministers and bureaucrats from misusing the public fund, even taking a cup of tea. The Lawyers Foundation for Justice pleaded that the public fund and public property being trust in the hands of public functionaries cannot be misused or used for personal gain. A. K Dogar representing the foundation stated that the public funds/property must be dealt with by the public functionaries on behalf of and for the benefit of the people.
He contended that the father of the nation Quaid-i-Azam had instructed his military secretary to issue an office order that no member of the cabinet coming to attend meeting shall be offered tea or coffee. The counsel asked the court to restrain the public functionaries, ministers and bureaucrats from misusing the public funds. The court adjourned the matter to May 23 after a law officer sought time to file reply on the petition.
