The Supreme Court (SC) directed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to settle the case of National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) chairman Tariq Malik within fifteen days.
Forwarding the government’s request challenging the reinstatement, the apex court comprising of 3 judges headed by Chief Justic Tasadduq Hussain Gilani, ordered the IHC to make a decision regarding its stay order in 15 days.
The government had removed Malik on the night of December 3 and appointed a new chairman within hours. However, the IHC had reinstated him the next morning and suspended his termination orders.
