KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Saturday issued bailable arrest warrants of Finance Secretary Kamran Ali Afzal in connection with a case of promotion of Inland Revenue Service (IRS) officers pending for the last seven years.
The court issued the arrest warrants, bailable for Rs50,000, and directed the concerned Station House Officer (SHO) in Islamabad to arrest the federal finance secretary and produce him in the next hearing.
The court said the secretary did not submit his response despite a warning.
The applicant, Misri Ludhani, had maintained that he was accepted in the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) in BPS-17 in 1982 and reached BPS-20 in 2010, and was waiting for the promotion in BPS-21 since 2014.
He had said that he was not promoted despite the Central Selection Board’s (CSB) approval of his promotion.
