Shares
The Lahore High Court on Tuesday has given a blow to the Punjab government and as well as to the federal government over the issue of the fresh appointment of the Inspector General of Police Punjab Usman Khattak.
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday suspended a notification for the appointment of Punjab’s acting inspector-general of police retired Capt Usman Khattak as the permanent IG over violation of court orders.
The court expressed its anger that the Punjab government had appointed Khattak as the permanent IGP even though he is due to retire in a little over three months.
LHC Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah took up the petition seeking appointment of a permanent IGP and implementation of the Police Order 2002.
On the previous hearing, the chief justice had given the government third and the last deadline to do the needful.
