A contempt of court petition on Wednesday was filed against authorities including Chuadhry Kabeer Ahmed, who is working as the Managing Director (MD) Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) even after court judgment.

Chuadhry Tanveer Akhtar, former joint secretary (IHCB) filed contempt petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) stating that a single Judge bench of Justice Noorul haq N Qureshi dated 23 December termed appointment of MD PTDC null and void and against the rules.

Akhtar said that court directed authorities to appoint a new MD PTDC in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules and regulations but Chuadhry Kabeer Ahmed is still working as MD.

He alleged that authorities are trying to maneuver court orders which was contempt of court under Article 204 of the constitution.
