IHC directs FIA to decide candidate’s representation before announcing recruitment results
ISLAMABAD, Jul 21 (APP):The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to decide a petitioner’s representation before announcing the results of its ongoing recruitment process.
Justice Muhammad Azam Khan issued the directions while hearing a petition filed by Yasir Arafat.
During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel, Afrasiab Ahmad Rana Advocate, argued that the recruitment test included questions that were outside the prescribed syllabus. He informed the court that the petitioner had submitted representations to the FIA on July 16 and 17, but no decision had been taken.
The court disposed of the petition with directions to the FIA to decide the petitioner’s representations before declaring the recruitment results.
In the written order issued later, the court clarified that it had made no observations on the merits of the case.
The court further directed the FIA to provide the petitioner an opportunity of being heard and pass a detailed, reasoned order on his representations before proceeding with the recruitment results.
