PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Thursday gave a last chance to advocate general KP to submit a reply within seven days in a writ petition against the appointment of Justice (Retd) Dost Mohammad Khan as the province's caretaker chief minister. A two-member bench comprising Justice Qalandar Ali Khan and Justice Muhammad Ayub directed Abdus Samad Bannu, advocate general, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, to submit a written reply within a week time or else the court would decide the case on merit.
On the previous hearing, the court had given a week time to AG after he requested the court that he just took charge of his office and sought time for submission of reply. However, the AG on Thursday again sought two weeks time for submission of reply.
A Nowshera-based lawyer, Syed Azizuddin Kakakhel, had filed the petition requesting the court to declare the caretaker chief minister's appointment illegal and ask the respondents, including the country's president and chief election commissioner, to fill out the position in line with articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution. He requested the court for an interim relief by stopping the chief minister from functioning until a final disposal of the petition.
