Sources revealed to The Express Tribune that the apex court registrar has extended deputation period of Muhammad Sohail and Abdul Shabbir Khan Khattak. It is also learnt that the competent authority has approved a note of extension in deputation moved by SC Registrar. Source said deputationists occupy key administrative positions in the Supreme Court, causing resentment among permanent employees who believe that they are being ignored during promotions. Currently, 29 deputationists are working in the Supreme Court including SC Register Khawaja Daud Ahmad, Additional Registrar Judicial Abdul Razzaq, Additional Registrar Administration Amer Saleem Rana and Deputy Registrar Adman Abdul Shabbir Khan Khattak. Senior lawyers believe that the post of the SC registrar is very sensitive.
