The Supreme Court has cancelled the suspension notification of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Additional Director General Zafar Ahmed Qureshi and also handed him the task to investigate the multi-billion National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) scam. Earlier, a three-member Supreme Court bench comprising of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Tariq Parvez and Justice Amir Hani Muslim reserved judgment on the matter on July 25. The court also ordered the attorney general to submit a written statement regarding the position of the prime minister and interior minister on the suspension of Zafar Quraishi. AGP Anwarul Haq requested the court on July 25 to grant him some more time to ascertain the stand of the prime minister, who suspended Zafar Qureshi and declined to reinstate him despite court orders. The court however rejected his request noting that sufficient time had already been given to this effect. On Monday Senior Judge Justice Shakirullah Jan read out the verdict as the CJ Chaudhry was in Lahore for hearing another significant case. The court declared that Attorney General failed to submit Prime Ministers reaction on the issue. The verdict stated that the order dated 4.7.2011 and or any other order, suspending Mr. Zafar Ahmad Qureshi, Additional D.G. FIA from service have been passed to render the judgment/order dated 1.7.2011 ineffective and non-operative. Thus, order dated 4.7.2011 suspending Mr. Zafar Ahmad Qureshi or any other order, is quashed/set aside. He shall be deemed to have been on duty as Additional D.G. FIA pursuant to the order of this Court dated 1.7.2011. The court also ordered establishing of a commission to be headed Justice Ghulam Rabbani to ascertain the responsible elements behind the suspension of Zafar Qureshi and anti-judiciary campaign in the electronic media Deputy registrar Sajid Mehmood would be the secretary of the commission while Interior Secretary and Secretary Information would assist the Commission Secretary. The commission would present its report before the Supreme Court after completing its investigation In the 37 page detailed judgement, the SC nullified the suspension of head of Investigation Team probing the NICL scam Zafar Qureshi and all steps taken by the administration. The court further ordered that Zafar Qureshi resumes his investigation from where it was left off after his suspension and complete the probe at its earliest. The court also ordered the D.G. FIA, Additional D.G. FIA, Mr. Zafar Ahmad Qureshi and other government authorities shall take steps to ensure that public money sent abroad noted here in above, shall be brought back. DG FIA was given a stern warning by the court against any interference in the investigation being conducted by Mr. Zafar Ahmad Qureshi, Addl. D.G, under the direction of this Court. FIA was also ordered to give weekly progress report to Justice Amir Hani Muslim in his chamber. The court also ordered no action shall be taken against Mr. Zafar Ahmad Qureshi without prior approval of this Court. The investigation team, which had already been assisting him, would join him as team mates, unless he wants otherwise. In its previous hearing, the court had also asked for replies of Prime Minister, Interior Minister, Interior Secretary and Establishment Division Secretary. But no response was received from them. Earlier on July 1, the court ordered the federal government to take back notification regarding the suspension of Zafar Qureshi, who court ordered to resume investigations again. However, he was suspended again within 72 hours of his reinstatement for talking to media without departmental authorization.
