The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday suspended Capital Development Authority (CDA) decision to demote 18 offiers, who according to the authority were promoted against rules and regulations.
IHC forwarded the promotions of 18 Capital Development Authority (CDA) officers’ issue to its board and directed to decide it within six months as per law.
IHC Justice Mohsin Akther Kayani announced the decision on a petition filed by 18 officers of the civic body challenging their demotion by the CDA.
The court, however, suspended the CDA's notification regarding the demotions till the final decision of the CDA board and disposed of all the identical petitions. CDA had demoted the above officers on recommendations of an investigation committee under the chair of CDA former member administration Nadeem Akber Malik. Before this, the two other departmental committees had declared the up gradations of 89 officials as unlawful. However, the recommendation of those two committees were not implemented.
