The Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice here on Thursday issued notice to Secretary Health Punjab again for March 12 in a petition of pharmacists seeking contempt proceedings against the concerned functionaries ignoring the court order about regularisation of their service.
The petitioner pharmacists submitted that they were appointed after qualifying Punjab Public Service Commission examination. They said a single bench of the LHC had directed the government to regularise the petitioners, however, the health department challenged the order through an appeal. A division bench had dismissed the appeal but the department did not implement the order of the single bench. On previous hearing the secretary was asked to submit his reply, however, nobody turned up from the government's side.
