FAISALABAD: Three Allied Hospital-II doctors, including its medical superintendent, have been suspended on Lahore High Court directions.
The Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department order names Principal Medical Officer and Medical Superintendent Dr Muhammad Zafar Iqbal (BS-20), Chief Consultant Surgeon Dr Ghulam Murtaza (BS-20) and Senior Medical Officer Dr Waheed Afsar Bajwa (BS-18).
Suspension Order — Specialized Healthcare & Medical Education Department
The suspension order issued by the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department on 10 November 2026
Under the order, the three doctors stand suspended with immediate effect under section 6 of the Punjab Employees Efficiency, Discipline and Accountability (PEEDA) Act 2006, on account of inefficiency and misconduct.
The order, No. SO(GC-I)1-289/2023, follows the Lahore High Court directions of Oct 21 in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 46995-B of 2026 and a hearing the court held on Tuesday.
The order also relieves the three doctors of their duties and directs them to report to the department forthwith.
Reports link the case to alleged irregularities, misconduct and negligence in the city’s medico-legal work.
Section 6 of the PEEDA Act allows the competent authority to suspend an employee facing proposed action for ninety days, extendable once by a further ninety days with prior approval.
A suspension under the Act is a step pending departmental proceedings; it is not by itself a finding of guilt.
