ISLAMABAD: Despite the Supreme Court’s verdict, Deputy Chairman National Accountability Bureau Javed Qazi has appointed new legal advisors at Karachi and Islamabad.
On September 1, the apex court had ordered that Javed Qazi could no longer operate as the NAB’s acting chairman.
Sources said Javed Qazi had issued the new directives on September 16. The directives included the transfer order for Additional Director Abdul Hafeez from Islamabad to Rawalpindi.
Javed Qazi also promoted several NAB employees and also increased the salaries of legal advisors. Sources told DawnNews that the new appointments in Islamabad include that of legal advisor Naheed Seemi and the Karachi postings include five lawyers.
Earlier, the court had ordered that Qazi could not operate as acting chairman and also said that according to law, there was no position for any deputy chairman in NAB. Therefore, the decisions made by the deputy chairman do not hold any legal value.
