Capital Development Authority (CDA) Labour Union counsel Kashif Malik had pleaded the court to revoke the federal government’s orders pertaining to the restructuring of the CDA board.
A single-member bench of Islamabad High Court (IHC) comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani will hear the case.
Malik contended that the reconstitution of the board could not be reformed without a constitutional amendment, adding that the government’s decision was a violation of the IHC's previous orders too.
The lawyer cited the IHC verdict as per which a civil servant could not be deployed as a CDA board member. Malik added that as the CDA amendment ordinance became ineffective in September 2018, all recruitments made onward in the authority made were illegitimate.
