SC disposes of contempt petition against KP PA Speaker

The Supreme Court Monday disposed of a contempt of court petition against Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Mushtaq Ghani.

A two-member bench headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial heard the case.

Kifayatullah, the petitioner, said that Ghani failed to follow instructions after he appointed a junior officer as the secretary of the provincial assembly bypassing a senior officer.

The counsel for Kifayatullah said that his client was a senior officer but he was not appointed on the post.

A meeting with the concerned district police officer was held on the court orders, but no relief was given to the petitioner, he added.

The court ordered the petitioner to approach a service tribunal for his appointment and disposed of the petition.
