ISLAMABAD: In what may be the first such case in Pakistan’s history, four civilian employees of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) have approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) with complaints about their own chief, ISI Director-General Lt-Gen Zaheerul Islam.
They claim that he, along with other senior government officers, should be charged with contempt of court, regarding an IHC ruling on regularisation of employees.
The four men, Grade-18 officers, claim to have been working for the past seven years as junior analysts in the ISI, on a contract basis.
They claim that their contractual appointments were limited to five years, after which they were to be made permanent employees.
Along with other federal government employees, the four officers came to the Islamabad High Court late last year, and on December 31, the IHC directed the government to “regularise the services of contract employees”.
A cabinet subcommittee supervised the process at various ministries and departments, but these ISI employees were not regularised.
The ISI employees have asked the IHC to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Lt-Gen Zaheerul Islam; Lt-Gen (retired) Asif Yasin Malik, Secretary of Defence; Tamiur Azmat Usman, Secretary of the Establishment; and Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah, chairman of the cabinet subcommittee on regularisation of contractual employees.
They claim that the respondents did not comply with the IHC’s December 31 ruling.
An ISI official, however, told Dawn that contract appointments in the ISI are different from those in other departments.
