ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court(IHC) restrained the caretaker government from restructuring the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
Islamabad High Court Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb heard the petition of the FBR officer in which the petitioner took the position that the restructuring of the FBR is not the mandate of the caretaker government. The caretaker government should be prevented from restructuring the FBR.
The petitioner's lawyer said that the committee was formed despite the Election Commission of Pakistan(ECP) stopping it under the Election Act 2017.
After hearing the arguments of the counsel, the court suspended the notification of setting up the restructuring committee of FBR.
