Appearing on notice, Abdul Jabbar Memon told the bench that despite court''s order of January 31, 2011 to restrain the Chairman of PQA from making any further appointments on a contract basis till further orders, the management of the Authority had made over 250 appointments from Grade 2 to 19 in violation of court''s order. He further alleged that apart from making appointments the incumbent Chairman of the Authority has been given a two-year extension.
The petitioner claimed that Mahmood Zameer Farooqi, brother-in-law of the incumbent Minister for Commerce Makhdoom Amin Fahim, a respondent in the instant petition, had been transferred from PQA and appointed as Deputy Director in Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). Memon further contended that all these developments were in violation of the court''s earlier order and hence were contempt of court as well. He pleaded that his spouse is suffering from cancer; and however, she has yet to be receive treatment in spite of directives issued by the Chief Secretary Sindh.
