Counsel for the petitioners raised questions requiring examination, including whether the impugned notification can authorize initial re­cruitment to the ordinary Inspector cadre notwithstanding Article 7(3) of the Police Order, 2002. After hear­ing the arguments, the IHC bench issued notices to the respondents, who shall file report/ para-wise comments within a period of two weeks. It added that since the mat­ter pertains to the vires of Rule 7(3) of the Police Order, 2002, the office is also directed to issue notice to the Attorney General for Pakistan under Order XXVII-A, Rule 1 CPC as well as to the Advocate General, Islamabad. Later, the bench deferred hearing of the case until October 28 saying that any steps taken in the recruitment process shall be subject to the final outcome of this petition.
