The secretary to former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, Chaudhry Abdul Hameed, has been demoted and transferred to the Supreme Court’s Quetta registry.
According to SC officials, Hameed will now serve as a protocol officer of the top court in Quetta, a grade 18 post as opposed to the grade 20 post he held under ex-CJ.
Towards the end of his tenure, Chaudhry promoted Hameed, then serving as his protocol officer, to grade 19 but gave him charge as the secretary to the chief justice, a grade 20 post.
Meanwhile, a senior Federal Judicial Academy (FJA) official, Muhammad Saleem Ahmad, has been permanently absorbed into the Supreme Court as a ‘librarian’, a grade 19 post, a senior SC official said.
An office-bearer of the Supreme Court Bar Association said they are closely examining as to whether this absorption is legal or not.
