Appointments of governors challenged in SC

ISLAMABAD: Senator and leader of PML-N Zafar Ali Shah Wednesday challenged the appointments of governors of all provinces in Supreme Court.

The petitioner contended that president was bound to take advice from prime minister while appointing governors in the light of Article 101 of the constitution, adding that all the governors were appointed in Musharraf’s tenure so all the appointments have now become unconstitutional.

The petitioner sought to declare the appointments of governors unconstitutional.
