KARACHI: Sindh High Court said on Friday that the appointment of the provincial food secretary was illegal.
While hearing a Rs40 million wheat corruption case, the court said the appointment was illegal because the secretary hasn’t passed the CSS examination to qualify for the position. The court wants a report submitted on his appointment.
