The Lahore High Court (LHC) has cancelled the notification of Ziaullah Latif’s appointment as Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) chief executive officer (CEO). A bench of the LHC on Tuesday heard the petition filed by former LESCO CEO Sharafat Siyal against Latif’s appointment. The petitioner was of the view that the board of governor had the authority to appoint the CEO but the Ministry of Water and Power appointed Latif by bypassing the board.
Accepting the petition for hearing, the LHC suspended the notification and directed the Ministry of Water and Power to submit a reply in this regard.
