NAB officials withdraw petition against boss

ISLAMABAD, Sept 5: After an out of court settlement between the chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and 14 senior officials, including 8 regional directors, withdrew their petition filed against the appointments’ of their three provincial chiefs. According to a letter submitted with their
withdrawal application in the Islamabad High
Court (IHC), senior NAB officials — who earlier
criticised their boss, chairman admiral (retired)
Fasih Bokhari for having made illegal inductions
in NAB — have now had a change of heart. They expressed their complete faith in him and
stated that they are withdrawing the petition
after the chairman assured them to redress their
grievances. The withdrawal letter submitted to the court on
Wednesday bears the signatures of all the 14
petitioners — Brigadier (retired) Musaddiq
Abbasi DG NAB Headquarters Islamabad, Col
(retired) Khursheed Alam acting DG Peshawar, Lt
Col (retired) Shahzad Anwar Bhatti acting DG operations NAB Headquarters Islamabad, Col
(retired) Subha Sadiq Malik acting DG NAB
Rawalpindi, Lt Col (retired) Sirajul Naeem acting
DG training, Major (retired) Syed Burhan Ali acting
DG Quetta, Major (retired) Shabbir Ahmed acting
DG Karachi, Faizullah Khan and Major (retired) Shahzad Saleem directors NAB Rawalpindi, Major
(retired) Tariq Mehmood Malik, Zahir Shah, Mirza
Mohammad Irfan Baig and Raza Khan acting
directors NAB Islamabad. These senior officials in June this year had
approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC)
against the high profile appointments allegedly
being made in NAB in violation of the rules. Islamabad High Court (IHC) Justice Mohammad
Anwar Khan Kasi on June 27, while admitting the
petition for regular hearing also declared that the
appointments of provincial chiefs of NAB will be
subject to the court’s order. According to the petition of NAB officials, which
were filed in the IHC through their counsel for the
petitioners Raja Amir Abbas, NAB authorities
inducted their favourite persons on high profile
posts, adding that over the last few months, the
bureau inducted Khursheed Anwar Bhinder as director general (Punjab) Kausar Iqbal Malik as
director general (HR) and Wajid Durrani as
director general (Sindh). The petitioners alleged that Durrani a retired
officer of the police was appointed on the
recommendations of President Asif Ali Zardari,
adding that, unfortunately, Mr Durrani does not
fulfill the requisite eligibility criteria and does not
carry a clean service record. The petition said that the appointments were
being made in excess of any predefined and
allocated quota reserved for initial appointments
and promotions, adding that, according to the
quota, the bureau’s authorities could make 25
per cent initial appointments from outside, while 75 per cent positions could only be filled through
promotion. It alleged that chairman NAB and DG (HR) were
making illegal appointments and favouring their
blue-eyed persons and this amounted to
discrimination as provided under article 25 of the
constitution. The blatant misuse of authority by the
respondents – chairman NAB and director
general (HR) – has been defined and termed as an
offence under the NAB ordinance 1999 and
ironically people who are supposed to charge
culprits for the said offence are themselves committing the same, the petition said and added,
NAB is supposed to be the most transparent,
across the board working organisation and if
justice and fair play is not dispensed to their own
employees, how can it ensure it to others? According to the petition, the bureau instead of
convening the promotion board and promoting
the hardworking and eligible officers are
inducting irrelevant and retired persons on key
posts. The views of the petitioners, however, have
changed dramatically within a couple of months
as the letter submitted to the IHC expressed their
complete faith in the chairman. It also said that
they believe that the chairman will fulfill a
commitment made to them regarding the matters of their promotion. Raja Amir Abbas, the counsel of the petitioner
when approached said that it was a good case to
argue and the petitioners had also got some sort
of relief as the court had linked the appointments
of NAB provincial chief with its final verdict. But the petitioner, under the law can withdraw
its petition at any stage; he said and added that
the withdrawal of petition also became possible
with the consent of the court. He also said that the court may probe the matter
to find out that the settlement was made in a
transparent manner and was not exploiting the
rights of either party. A NAB official on condition of anonymity told
Dawn that the authority is also negotiating with
some 60 junior officials who also approached the
court against the direct appointments as these
appointments are causing delay in their
promotion. He claimed that the junior officials would also withdraw their petitions in the
coming days. Yasir Rahim Bhatti, counsel of junior NAB officials
when contacted said that their case is different
than the senior officials. In our case the court has
clearly restrained NAB authorities from further
appointments, he said. So far, I did not receive any instruction from my
clients regarding withdrawal of the petition, he
added.

abi withdraw tou nhi ki naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... jo withdraw ki petition vo three provicial chiefs ki appointment k against thi........... our case is pending still........

Can any body tell that what will be the percentage of written test, psychological test and final interview for final selection procedure.

please share if any body is able to contact NTS authorities for any information regarding the probable date of announcement of psychological test result. NTS karachi had given assurance that the same will be posted this week on NTS website but that has not materialized too. Surprisingly enough, no body is answering phone at NTS regional centers in islamabad, karachi since a week.

i have been contacted by nab official today who asked for my domicile which i had failed to submit earlier... what do u guys think, will they call all the candidates who appeared in the psychological test ffor the interview

can't say anything about that.
Kindly share your marks and post applied for.
Regards

Kindley, Can u tell me where r u from... R u from Sindh?

Adeel I am from Rural Sindh. I think they are asking for the domicile certificate from those who did not provide it earlier, but they have qualified the psychological. I have gathered that the result has been made, it is just about making it public. After a gap of more than a month when psy. test was taken, they call for the documents in order to divide the candidates according the the proportion of provincial quotta. There is no reason that they bother themselves to collect the documents from someone who doesn't qualify for the second stage.


So those who received call from NAB for documents have made it to the interviews, congratulations in advance.

Dear all
domicile was'nt amongst the documents the NAB officials demanded was it
? i think it were only CNIC and degrees i had not submitted the drone missile and am worried i havent got ne call either

Two things:


1) they will call you soon because the process of documents is still on.

2) You are out.
