HC summons expatriates' welfare secretary

The High Court (HC) yesterday summoned Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Secretary Dr Zafar Ahmed Khan before it on February 18 in connection with a contempt of court rule for not implementing its verdict.
On August 24, 2010, the court had issued the rule following a contempt of court petition filed by Atahiya-Bin Khuda, an official of a project of Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET).
Earlier on October 8, 2009, the court, in a verdict, directed the secretary to absorb 50 officials and workers of a project BMET to the revenue sector in two months.
