The Supreme Court (SC) in September last year said that the matter of irregular hiring practices in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) could not be ignored.
“How can the NAB overlook illegal recruitments being made within, while it files references against other departments in this regard?” asked Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh while hearing a petition about NAB’s reply to an earlier court ruling in a similar case.
The SC had ordered to expel those officials from the NAB who were appointed inconsistently. It further said that those officials would be sent back to the departments from where they came or would be allowed to apply for jobs in the NAB through regular procedure.
