Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has remarked DG FIA has violated Supreme Court (SC) orders in Hajj corruption and NICL corruption cases.
CJP gave these remarks while presiding over a 5-member SC bench during the course of hearing of Hajj corruption case here Friday.
CJP remarked that much had been done from DG FIA side and now action would be initiated.
DG FIA Malik Iqbal, former investigation officers in Hajj corruption case Hussain Asghar and Javed Bokhari presented their replies to SC in respect of show cause notices issued to them.
CJP remarked “ Javed Bokhari has surrendered by withdrawing him from the case and this act falls in misconduct”. “When you have admitted that SC is not satisfied over your performance then how you have been promoted”, CJP inquired .
Javed Bokhari told the court “ there was no ill intent behind writing of letter by me. I had written to DG that my letter be not made basis for my transfer.
Former Director FIA Hussain Asghar told the court he had not withdrawn from Hajj corruption case on his own and on the other hand he was transferred and now appointed as DG Gilgit Baltistan. He had been transferred without his consent, Hussain Asghar said.
Addressing DG FIA, CJP said “ we respect you but you have started taking advantage. Contempt of court notices will be issued to secretary establishment and Javed Bokhari and action will be initiated”.
The court described the stance taken by DG FIA in his reply to show cause notice unsatisfactory saying he did not try to stop transfers of investigation officers.
The court rejected the reply given by Javed Bokhari and directed secretary establishment Abdul Rauf Chaudhry to remove Javed Bokhari from his post and take action against him.
“When an officer says his performance is not satisfactory then what strategy it is that he is promoted to attractive post rather than sending him to home. What message has been given to court this way.
CJP said conduct of DG FIA was not satisfactory. The court summoned the record of transfer of Hussain Asghar and maintained that decision would be taken about DG FIA after seeing the record.
Further hearing of the case has been adjourned till June, 10.
