A Pakistan Muslim League-N leader on Wednesday filed a writ petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC) challenging the Punjab government’s decision to remove Shoaib Dastagir from the post of Inspector General of Police.
The petition, filed by PML-N leader Malik Ahmed, named the Cabinet division secretary, the Punjab additional chief secretary, Dastagir, newly appointed Punjab IG Inam Ghani, Additional IG (Operations) Zulfiqar Hameed and Lahore Capital City Police Officer Muhammad Umar Sheikh as respondents.
The petition has been fixed for hearing for today (Thursday) at 9am. LHC Chief Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan will preside over the hearing. On Wednesday, the federal government appointed Ghani as the new Punjab Inspector General of Police — the sixth police chief of the province since the PTI came into power two years ago.
