The Supreme Court on Wednesday accepted for hearing a constitutional petition moved by Orya Maqbool Abbasi, a columnist and former bureaucrat, and issued notices to respondents, including Chairman Federal Public Service Commission and Secretary Establishment Division, asking them to appear before the court.
The petitioner had challenged the promotion of civil servants, praying the court to summon all the record of central selection board meetings held on February 14 and 27, 2013 to access the promotions made in a hurry on political basis. The court decided to take up the petition for hearing after 15 days and also directed the petitioner to file all necessary documents to the court's office.
