ISLAMABAD : A former military officer has approached the apex court with a petition against former army chief General (retd) Ashfaq Parvez Kayani over his alleged role in disbanding the legally-established Armed Forces Medical Store Depot, and for manufacturing, supplying, and procuring substandard and spurious medicines.
