Khosa’s appointment as governor challenged in LHC
LAHORE: The appointment of Sardar Latif Khosa as the new governor of Punjab was challenged in the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday, DawnNews reported.
The petition, filed by a local lawyer against the appointment, stated that Khosa’s selection despite the corruption allegations against him, was a violation of the Constitution’s Article 62 and Article 63. Khosa had been removed, reportedly over corruption charges, from important offices on the directives of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani — first as the attorney general in October 2009 and later as adviser to the prime minister in July 2010. The petition filed further stated that a corruption case against Latif Khosa had not yet been decided. The Lahore High Court has now summoned the president of the Lahore Bar Association for assistance on January 19. |
