Shaukat Ali | 2 years ago | Reply It s good to refuse an extension in tenure because it has become a common practice wishing an extension in few departments but let s hope this decision of CRO Arshad Malik would be purely on grounds of principles rather than on the hope of getting a better post in any other department.
