ISLAMABAD:

Islamabad High Court (IHC) has declared the federal government’s interference in National Transmission and Dispatch Company affairs ‘illegal’.

The IHC’s Justice Athar Minallah, in a judgment issued on a petition of NTDC Board Director Babar Sattar, set aside notifications issued by the ministry of water and power suspending the NTDC chairman and a member of the board, initiation of process for the appointment of managing director and increasing the size of the board from seven to 12 members.

The petitioner had challenged the removal of the NTDC’s MD in November last year.
