It is added here that 71 Assistant Executive Officers were issued orders from removing them from Cadre posts on the orders of Supreme Court. Following these orders Government of Balochistan has issued notification for transferring 71 Assistant Executive Officers from cadre posts and directed them to report to S&GAD. These officers approached High Court and adopted stance they should not be returned.
Speaker with Newsmen after hearing, Lawyers of Balochistan Services Association, Balochistan Secretariat Association and Balochistan Secretariat Staff Association expressing satisfaction over hearing of their case at the High Court said government of Balochistan has not yet fully implemented Supreme Court orders and these officers have been directed to report to S&GAD instead of their departments Finance and Planning.
They said we are not satisfied with this notification of Government of Balochistan and we would go to Supreme Court against it where we would take stand at the Court were being joked and its orders were not implemented in true spirit. Despite clear orders of Supreme Court and government of Balochistan these ex-cadre officers were still working on their posts illegally. It not only tentamounts as contempt of court but joke with Government of Balochistan notification and legal action would be taken against it.
