ISLAMABAD:
The hearing against the federation’s decision regarding the reconstitution of the apex civic agency's board will be conducted on Thursday (today).
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.
