ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Athar Minallah on Saturday ordered the district administration and police to constitute a joint investigation team (JIT) to probe the Feb 8 attack on the Chief Justice Block of the IHC.
He made these remarks while hearing a petition filed by advocate Nazir Jawad against alleged harassment by police during the ongoing raids to arrest lawyers nominated in the First Information Report (FIR) in connection with the IHC rampage.
The court was also informed that a district courts complex had been approved in the federal capital and the government had also hired a consultant to execute the project. Justice Minallah directed that the JIT would perform its function in consultation with the lawyers’ bodies and advised the police to arrest only those nominated in the FIRs, warning them against harassing lawyers who were not involved in the attack.

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday dismissed a petition of seven top officials of the Pakistan Television (PTV) who were sacked by newly-appointed PTV chairman Naeem Bokhari.
Petitioners Khawar Azhar, Qatrina Hosain, Asim Baig, Nasir Abbas, Nasir Abbas Naqvi, retired Col Nadeem Niazi, Mohammad Tahir Mushtaq and Khurram Anwar had challenged the termination of their employment contracts.
IHC’s Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb observed that since the Supreme Court had already held that the Employees Service Rules were “non statutory”, therefore he “cannot take a view different from the one taken by the Honorable Supreme Court regarding the maintainability of a writ petition filed by an employee of the Pakistan Television Corporation with respect to a matter regarding his/her service”.
