ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday served notices to respondents in a petition against the decision of the Central Selection Board of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) regarding the promotion of officers.
The court instructed the secretary Ministry of Interior to submit a report on November 21, after deciding on the applications of petitioners. Justice Babar Sattar heard the case filed by FIA officers including Bakhtiar Cheema and others. In its order, the court held said that the petitioners were victims of the working papers sent by the Establishment Division and other respondents, regarding the promotions from BPS-19 to BPS-20. The lawyers for petitioners said the working paper of the Establishment Division for the posts of director law BPS-20 stated wrong facts. The working papers had mentioned only one post but as per rules four seats are vacant, they argued. If the correct position was conveyed then the petitioners could have been considered for these posts. They said they had also filed a presentation to the secretary of law but no decision was made. The court instructed the secretary of law to take a decision on representation with the reasons and produce it at the next hearing.
