Representing the petitioner, Sheraz Zaka had argued that Amir Bajwa was an acting chairman of the PTA and was being re-appointed by the government as mentioned in the advertisement after completion of his four-year tenure. He said it would be against the law and judgments of the Supreme Court.
The counsel said the superior courts always discouraged ad hoc appointments in regulatory bodies. He said the process for the appointment of regular chairman of the PTA had not been completed for the past one year and hence the court should interfere in the matter.
The government in its reply further stated that after completion of the tenure of the chairman there will be no re-appointment as new advertisement had been issued for new recruitment after completion of four-year tenure. The court, therefore, disposed of the petition after the government's reply submitted to the court.
