Therefore, two members bench presided  over by CJP heard the case. <\/p>\n<p>The CJP remarked that Prime Minister (PM) can seek help and opinion  from any expert. It is laid down in the constitution that PM can appoint his assistants. It is mentioned in rules of business that a person having dual nationality can become special assistant. Justice Munib Akhtar does not want to hear this case therefore, we have constituted new bench after his regret. <\/p>\n<p>Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan remarked that SC has set principles in Zulfi Bokhari case with regard  to special assistants. SC maintained in Zulfi Bokhari case that dual nationality holder can become special assistant. It was also settled in the decision PM can appoint special assistants.

Induction of special assistants is violation of article 99 of the constitution. <\/p>\n<p>The court while upholding IHC decision rejected the petition seeking sacking of special assistants of PM. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD, Dec 18 (Online): Supreme Court (SC) while upholding Islamabad High Court (IHC) decision has rejected the appeal plea seeking sacking of special assistants and advisors of Prime Minister (PM).
