 The Peshawar High Court on Thursday nullified the appointment of Maulana Fazlur RehmanÂ’s brother to the Commissionerate of Afghan Refugees. A division bench consisting of Justice Mohammad Raza Khan and Justice Raj Mohammad Khan reinstated Major (r) Fayyaz Durrani as the CAR project director (repatriation). Ziaur Rehman, the brother of the MMA secretary general, had replaced Durrani by the order of the NWFP chief secretary. He said that he could not be removed from his position by the order of a provincial government official because appointments to the CAR could not be made without the SAFRON ministryÂ’s consent. He said that the position he held was a UNHCR-funded post. The ministry of SAFRON admitted that RehmanÂ’s appointment was against the prescribed rules and regulations and that it had not given approval for DurraniÂ’s replacement. Rehman told the court that DurraniÂ’s appointment to the CAR was illegal. |
