ISLAMABAD: Though the cabinet reshuffle may take some pressure off the government in light of the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) recent judgement stating that unelected advisers cannot hold executive responsibilities, the working of important official functionaries remains clouded in uncertainty.
IHC Justice Aamer Farooq, on a petition filed by PML-N lawmaker Rana Iradat Sharif, had ruled that advisers and special assistants could assist and advise the prime minister on their respective subjects but not intervene in the executive’s domain.
