ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Supreme Court on Friday restored Lahore CCPO Ghulam Mahmood Dogar and suspended his transfer order, declaring it null and void.

The court ruled that the chief election commissioner had no power to transfer the officers. It also rejected the plea to present the record of the transfer/postings made by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

Justice Muneeb Akhtar remarked that the clock is ticking very fast and 90 days are about to complete.

He inquired that who had requested the chief election commissioner make the transfer. "How the CEC making decisions after becoming the ECP?" he questioned.
