Dawn Leaks: Rao Tehsin moves IHC over allegations

Rao Tehsin, removed from his post of Principal Information Secretary over Dawn Leaks, has moved Islamabad High Court regarding allegations in inquiry report.

In his application, Tehseen has argued that despite being made responsible for the leaks, he has not received the inquiry report.

“Access to the report is my right,” he asserted.

The applicant further argued that due to Dawn Leaks and blame, his career is affected negatively. 

On April 30th,  Prime Minister’s Office  issued directives that “Rao Tehsin Ali, principal information officer of the Ministry of Information shall be proceeded against under the Efficiency and Disciplinary Rules 1973 on the charges based on findings in the instant report”.

Later, the federal government asked Rao Tehsin to report to the Establishment Division.

According to the Establishment Division’s notification “Rao Tehsin Ali Khan, a BS-22 officer of the Information Group, presently posted as principal information officer, Press Information Department (PID), Information and Broadcasting Division, is transferred and directed to report to the Establishment Division, with immediate effect and until further orders.”
