Earlier, a federal law officer submitted a reply on behalf of the principal secretary to the prime minister about the working of the SAPMs and advisers. The chief justice noted that the reply suggested the advisers and SAPMs remained present during the whole meetings of the cabinet whereas they were supposed to attend sessions relevant to their respective portfolios only. The chief justice warned the law officer that this practice of the advisers/SAPMs could have dire consequences. A counsel of former SAPM on petroleum Nadeem Babar told the court that his client had tendered resignation.
