ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday issued notices to respondents on a petition challenging restoration of Zia Batool as chairperson of Pakistan Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (Peira).

A division bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Saman Raffat Imtiaz heard the miscellaneous petition.

Earlier, the division bench had ordered to remove Peira’s chairperson from the post which was later suspended by the two-judge bench.

However, petitioner Imtiaz Ali Qureshi filed miscellaneous application in the court, requesting it to withdraw its order of restoring Zia Batool as Peira chairperson.
