The Lahore High Court (LHC) here on Tuesday sought reply from Chief Secretary (CS) Punjab in a petition challenging appointment of secretary health Punjab Fawad Hasan Fawad. Safdar Shaheen Pirzada filed the petition submitting that the respondent was appointed as secretary health in violation of merit policy.
He said the respondent was an office of BS-19, but he was holding the post of BS-20. Petitioner, therefore, prayed to the court to declare the appointment of Fawad Hasan Fawad as illegal and without lawful authority and the government be directed to appoint a qualified officer of BS-20.
