CJ reprimands FIA DG over contempt of court
Rejects report submitted by Wajid Zia; directs him to submit a new one on recruitment of 60 inspectors
ISLAMABAD:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a report on the recruitment of 60 inspectors in the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and directed Director General Wajid Zia to decide on the court’s order instead of the presidential one.
The inspectors in question were recruited in 1990 during the tenure of the Pakistan Peoples Party and sacked by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government in 1996.
The matter went to the courts and on February 21, 2001, the Supreme Court directed the FIA to conduct their Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) test.
