Lahore High Court reprimands section office of Faisalabad govt for concealing fact about appointment of naib qasid.

LAHORE: A Lahore High Court judge on Monday scolded the section office of Faisalabad district government for concealing facts about the appointment process of the naib qasid.

Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah let Officer Muzafarul Haq go with a warning and directed him to appear for the next hearing along with a complete record of the case.

Muhammad Irfan had filed a petition and contended that he applied for the post of naib qasid and his name was the only one which appeared in the merit list. However, he said, the government ignored him and appointed another person who, he contended, had never applied for the post.

The section officer had stated in the previous hearing that the name of the appointed person had also appeared in the merit list.

The judge adjourned further hearing of the case till December 6.
