The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered reinstatement and posting of the suspended police officer Hussain Asghar to the FIA. Asghar was earlier investigating into the haj corruption scandal. According to news reports, a three-member SC bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, was hearing the haj corruption case. The FIA director (legal) told the court that former Gilgit-Baltistan IG Asghar was suspended and a departmental action was underway against him, while a new Gilgit-Baltistan IG had been posted. The court ordered the Establishment Division to at once reinstate Asghar, transfer him to the FIA and apprise of the court about it.
