The notification of Gilgit Baltistan police chief Husain Asghar's suspension was presented to the Supreme Court during hajj corruption case hearing on Wednesday.

The three members’ bench of the apex court headed by the Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry heard the Hajj Corruption case.

On this, the chief justice, during last hearing, questioned how it is possible that a government officer is continuously refusing to abide by the federal government order to report back, resolving no comprise to be made on the prestige of the court.
It should be mentioned here that in yesterday hearing, the apex court again directed the government to suspend Hussain Asghar from the government service over non-compliance of the apex court order.
