A strict action must be taken against the appointing officers and recovery must be put on the appointee officers, according to the audit observations.
Ch. Asghar Ali was assigned duties of Director (Law) by Chief Commissioner vide order No. 2(9)-Admin/95/Vol-IV-777 dated 02-05-2018. His order was not covered under the rules.
During the tenure of PTI’s government, a BS-19 officer of Pakistan Administrative Service, Flt. Lt. (Retd) Imran Qureshi was once again illegally posted as Director (Law) vide office order No. 1(8)-Admin/2019-745 dated 26-03-2019 despite the fact that the post was already occupied by Ch. Asghar Ali.
Appointments of Ms. Sana D/o Muhammad Maqbool Khan as Record Keeper and Mr. Irshad Ali as Accountant were also made against non-sanctioned posts.
