The court also sought a reply from the health secretary in two weeks. Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed issued the order on a petition filed by Nauman Ahmad, a Health Department employee. The petitioner said that Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif had issued a notice to the department directing it to regularise all contract employees, but the department had regularised only 26 employees.
