IHC Disposes Petition Against Hafeez Sheikh

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Sunday dismissed a petition seeking to bar Financial Advisor Dr Abdul Hafeez Sheikh from tabling budget before the parliament.

While hearing the petition, IHC Chief Justice slammed the petitioner for appearing before the court without preparation.

“Where is it written in the rules that a certain individual will only present budget? You should have come prepared. Such petitions should not be brought to the court”, CJ stated.

The court then dismissed the plea against PM’s special assistant on Finance.

The petition was filed on May 24 which stated that Hafeez Sheikh should not be allowed to table the budget unless a new finance minister is appointed ‘since he is not an elected candidate’.

NA speaker, Financial advisor and Secretary Law were made parties to the case.
