The Supreme Court disposed of a contempt petition against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Mushtaq Ghani.
A two-member bench, headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, heard the case on Monday.
The petitioner, Kifayatullah, said that Ghani failed to follow instructions after he appointed a junior officer as the secretary of the provincial assembly rather than a senior officer.
