Contempt of Court
HC summons expatriates' welfare secretary
The High Court (HC) yesterday summoned Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Secretary Dr Zafar Ahmed Khan before it on February 18 in connection with a contempt of court rule for not implementing its verdict.
On August 24, 2010, the court had issued the rule following a contempt of court petition filed by Atahiya-Bin Khuda, an official of a project of Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET).
Earlier on October 8, 2009, the court, in a verdict, directed the secretary to absorb 50 officials and workers of a project BMET to the revenue sector in two months.
