Saliba was removed from his post last November.
Last July, 11 NGOs had called for Saliba’s removal from his position as Planning Commission chairperson due to his “arrogant attitude and out-dated mindset” which, they said, was obstructing the right to a fair planning process.
The judicial protest was filed in the First Hall of the Civil Court this morning by lawyer Louise Ann Pulis, against the minister for the Environment, Climate Change and Planning and the Planning Authority.
