The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday served notices to respondents on a petition challenging the appointment of Director General National Accountability Bureau, Lahore, Jameel Ahmed. IHC’s Justice Baber Sattar heard the case filed by a lawyer against the appointment of DG NAB. The petitioner’s lawyer Barrister Zafarullah adopted the stance that the Supreme Court in its judgment of 2017 had given guidelines for the appointments in NAB. The top court also declared a number of appointments as illegal in the said decision, he said. The lawyer said that the apex court’s directives were clear regarding the appointments in NAB. He said that the NAB DG Lahore was appointed against the guidelines of the top court. The court served notices to respondents and adjourned the hearing for two weeks.
