PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government on Tuesday challenged with the Supreme Court an order of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) regarding investigation into the alleged corruption and irregularities in the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit project.
In order to stop the investigation, separate petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court’s registries of Islamabad and Peshawar by the Peshawar Development Authority and the provincial government, respectively.
Advocate Makhdoom Ali filed a plea with the Supreme Court’s registry in Islamabad.
Both petitions pleaded with the court to suspend the PHC’s order, and to prevent the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from investigation into the BRT project.
The petitions maintained that the PHC’s order was against the Law as the court did not properly review the facts.
The Supreme Court has been further asked to nullify the decision of the PHC and that the FIA should be stopped from further inquiry before the top court gives its ruling in the petitions.
