Verdict on PIC ‘irregularities’ reserved
LAHORE
The Lahore High Court on Tuesday reserved the verdict on petition of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and the Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed against alleged "irregularities" in purchase of medicines at Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) of Lahore.
Petitioner alleged that medical store had been blatantly flouting terms and conditions of the contract by providing medicines to the PIC at excessively higher rates than the prevailing market price. He alleged that the medical store management in connivance with government authorities was engaged in such malpractices and misappropriating the taxpayers’ money.
He stated that all these malpractices related to the government departments were to be scrutinised by the public accounts committee.
He stated that since 2013 the committee remained dysfunctional and details of the impugned contract were not being provided to it. After hearing arguments, Justice Shams Mahmood Mirza reserved the judgment.
