LHC annuls Absar Alam’s appointment as PEMRA Chairman
LAHORE, (DNA) – Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday has nullified the appointment of Absar Alam as chairman of Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority.
Announcing the verdict reserved on Munir Ahmed’s plea, Justice Shahid Kareem declared the appointment notification as null and void.
The court ordered the government to appoint new PEMRA chief within next 30 days.
Meanwhile, PEMRA lawyers sought more time to submit details of Alam’s appointment but court rejected the appeal.

Federal government’s lawyer had denied the accusations and requested to dismiss the case over which the court had reserved the verdict.
