A two-member bench of the apex court’s Lahore Registry, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, resumed suo motu hearing of alleged corruption in 56 public sector companies of Punjab.
Chief Justice Nisar remarked that the heads of the companies must draw salaries as per their respective civil servant roles, adding that the heads should return the amount which was more than their original pay scandal.
