Lahore High Court (LHC) Justice Mansoor Ali on Thursday admitted for hearing a petition pertaining to the appointment of chairman of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
During the course of the proceedings, the petitioner stated that the government had not published any advertisement for the post and added that the appointment of Farooq Awan had been made on political basis.
He further said that the appointment had not been made on merit which was in violation of law and constitution. Hence, the court should declare the appointment as null and void.
The court accepted the plea after hearing the arguments and sought a reply from federal government till December 17.
