  Ahmed Raza Tahir. LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) declared the appointment of Deputy Inspector General Ahmed Raza Tahir as the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) illegal on Wednesday, setting aside the notification of his appointment and directed him to relinquish charge "immediately." A division bench of the LHC comprising of Chief Justice (LHCCJ) Khawaja Muhammad Sharif and Justice Waqar Hasan Mir issued this order on the suo motu notice taken against the appointment. The bench observed that the appointment of a person against whom a judge of the same court had recommended action for his failure in controlling the Gojra riots on August 01, 2009 is "indistinguishable from contempt of court." In the riots, eight Christians were killed including four women and a child over the alleged desecration of the Holy Quran.
