LAHORE: Lahore High Court Chief Justice Muhammad Yawar Ali soon after assuming the office on Wednesday changed Registrar Syed Khurshid Anwar Rizvi and made him officer on special duty (OSD).

The chief justice transferred Muzaffargarh District & Sessions Judge Bahadur Ali Khan to Lahore for his posting as registrar.

Former chief justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah had granted premature retirement to Mr Rizvi on his own request, however, Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan on a petition suspended his premature retirement. It was argued that Mr. Rizvi being a sessions judge was not entitled to seek retirement under the LHC establishment rules.
