The learned Attorney General for Pakistan appeared alongwith Capt. 
(Retd.) Shujat Azim, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Aviation. He stated 
that he was appointed as the Advisor upon the desire of the Prime Minister 
and not by his own choice. It is also true that he had been Court-martialed 
upon the allegations of insubordination and not on account of any moral 
turpitude and further that he has resigned as the CEO of Royal Airport 
Services prior to occupying the office of Advisor to the Prime Minister.  
2. 
However, in view of the controversy that has erupted regarding his 
appointment he has decided to tender his resignation to the Prime Minister 
in order to avoid being embroiled further in such controversy.  
3. 
Be that as it may, let him tender his resignation and the learned 
Attorney General for Pakistan shall place on record the notification of the 
acceptance of his resignation in due course of time.
