ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Islamabad High Court on Friday reserved its judgment in the case of dismissal of Chairman NADRA Tariq Malik.
Justice Noorul Haq Qureshi heard the case for nine hours and reserved the verdict.
It is pertinent to mention here that the government had removed Tariq Malik from NADRA chairman’s post and appointed Brigadier (retd) Zahid as acting chairman.
Tariq Malik had challenged the decision of the government in the Islamabad High Court.
Islamabad High Court suspended notification issued by the government regarding Tariq Malik s removal from the post of chairman NADRA.
According to sources, vote verification issue during general elections 2013 was the main reason behind Tariq Malik s removal.
He was also under pressure regarding vote verification process in NA-118 constituency of Lahore.
Pakistan Muslim Leagu-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Malik Riaz Hussain was declared successful in NA-118, whereas, his opponent Hamid Zaman from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) had filed a request to the election tribunal to verify the votes.
Soon after that, NADRA was about to verify thumb impressions of the voters.
