Islamabad:\u00a0Retired colonel Mohammad Asif Zaman on Tuesday was appointed the new Director-General of Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) on a contract basis for three years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The federal government has also issued a notification, however, the appointment of Asif Zaman is subjected to the order of the Islamabad High Court (IHC).<\/p>\n

A writ petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court regarding the appointment of DG Sports Board.<\/p>\n

PSB’s official told this correspondent that the appointment of a new DG Pakistan Sports Board is against the law.<\/p>\n

According to Article 2 (ia) of the PSB Rules 1981 made by the Federal Government (Cabinet), the Director-General of Pakistan Sports Board can be appointed only by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

The new Director-General of the Pakistan Sports Board has been appointed by the Prime Minister under the DGPSB Appointment Rules 2020.<\/p>\n

The DG PSB Appointment Rules 2020 are made by the PSB Board while the PSB Rules 1981 are made by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

“The status of PSB Rules 1981 is greater than that of DGP PSB Appointment Rules 2020,” PSB’s official told this correspondent.<\/p>\n

“Until the PSB Rules 1981, Rule 2 (ia) is amended, the Prime Minister does not have the power to appoint a DGPSB,” PSB sources.<\/p>\n

The court order is expected to be announced in the coming week in which the legality of Asif Zaman’s appointment will be confirmed.<\/p>\n
