He said that if a judicial order was passed, the officers would have to return all their perks and privileges.

If the Sindh IG can be removed, then there should not be any hurdle in removing FIA DG, he said. The CJP said that the government was giving an impression that it was not interested in implementing the court orders. Pirzada said that this case would affect the bureaucracy across the country. The CJP replied that this case would not affect the bureaucracy; instead it would be beneficial for it.
