The Lahore High Court on Tuesday dismissed Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Lahore Ghulam Mahmood Dogar plea challenging his suspension, saying it does not have the authority to hear the case.
At the outset of the hearing, Justice Muzamil Akhtar Shabir questioned whether the high court has the right to look into suspension order.
However, Doagr’s counsel contended that his client was targeted as he had launched legal action against a federal minister. Protecting a civil servant’s right in matters involving two governments is important, he added.
But the court once again asked the counsel that the matter fell under the Supreme Court’s purview and asked how the high court could hear the case.
On this, the federal government’s lawyer interjected and said that the suspension orders were issued after CCPO Dogar did not report to the federal government within three days.
