Amidst the fast-paced political developments in Pakistan, a writ petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court to prevent Prime Minister Imran Khan from removing an ‘important person’ from office to further his political agenda. The petition filed by Adnan Iqbal Advocate, mentions a possible change in the military command by the rattled Pakistan Premier and questions– ‘whether the Prime Minister could remove the Chief of the Army Staff for the furtherance of political interests’. As per sources, the petition will be heard shortly.
“In view of the above, it is most humbly prayed that this Honourable Court may declare the impugned notification/Order issued as illegal, insignificant and void being issued with malafide intention, hence having no effect and during the pendency of this petition, the operation of the Impugned Notification may kindly be suspended,” it read.
