LHC moved against new Nab chief

LAHORE: The appointment of Justice (rtd) Didar Hussain as new chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), has been challenged in Lahore High Court (LHC),

Barrister Iqbal Jaffery filed the petition which said Chief Justice of Pakistan and the Opposition were not consulted for the appointment of Justice Didar as Nab’s next Chairman.

The petition said his appointment is in violation of 14 Articles of the Constitution and against merit as well; instead, the appointment serves to protect personal interests.

The petitioner requested that the appointment made on political ground be immediately revoked.
