In November, the Supreme Court had suspended the notification of extension in services of COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa. The notification had been issued by the Prime Minister’s Office in August, while the extension was confirmed on November 27.
The Supreme Court later gave an extension of six months to the army chief, while making it conditional to legislation on the matter.
