The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday approved hearing a petition on extension in army chief General Ashfaque Pervez Kayani’s service.
According to a private television channel, the plea, filed by Col (retd) Inam-ur-Rehman on Monday, will be heard in third week of November by a two-member bench.
In his petition, the retired army officer has also appealed the court to take notice of Chief of the Army Staff’s recent statement, stating that General Kayani was not entitled to remain in office after making a political statement.
