Petition seeks appointment of federal ombudsman

LAHORE: A petition was filed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) Lahore Registry on Wednesday seeking the appointment of a federal ombudsman, a post that has been vacant since October 28, 2010.

The petitioner, Iftikhar Hussain, submitted that the government was being negligent with the appointment of a federal ombudsman, adding that hundreds of litigants were being ignored owing to the absence of the official.

He prayed that the court direct the government to fill the post on merit by advertising properly.
