SC asks respondents to address matter of lower court’s service rules with understanding

ISLAMABAD, April 1 (APP):Supreme Court Monday asked the federal government and other respondents to address the issue of services rules of lower courts with mutual understandings and adjourned hearing of the case for four weeks.

Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Asif Saeed Khosa observed that it was necessary to introduce amendment for changing in above law. It was better if the government and other respondent address the issue with mutual consultation, he said.
