A senior bar member has challenged before the Lahore High Court, the appointment of Irfan Qadir as Attorney General of Pakistan. Petitioner, Javed Iqbal Jaffrey, pleaded that the impugned appointment was made on political grounds without giving any opportunity to eligible candidates. He, therefore, prayed to the court to set aside the appointment of AGP and direct the respondent government to fill the same post afresh on merit.
