The summary of the change was sent by the law ministry to the prime minister. The summary said Malik was dismissed in absentia in 1998 by the then Nawaz Sharif government.
The summary recommended that the dismissal should be turned into retirement. Prime Minister Gilani approved the summary and forwarded it to the President House where a final approval was also given.
