The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday ordered the removal of the name of Azam Khan, former principal secretary to ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan, from the Stop List. The IHC also directed Azam to appear before the parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) whenever summoned. Earlier during the hearing of the petition filed by ex-principal secretary, IHC Chief Justice (CJ) Justice Athar Minallah asked as to why the PAC had summoned Azam. The IHC CJ remarked that whenever a parliamentary body summons somebody, he or she should appear before it out of respect. He reminded that this court had earlier, in its observations, said that there was no law behind the Stop List.
