According to a notification issued by Ministry of Law and Justice, in exercise of powers conferred by the Sections 5(g) and (h) of the National Accountability Ordinance 1999, the president of Pakistan has been pleased to appoint Muhammad Azam, district and sessions judge, as Accountability Court-II judge Islamabad on deputation basis for a period of three years in his own pay and scale.
It says that the appointment of the above judge shall be governed by the relevant provision of the NAB Ordinance 1999, and terms and conditions prescribed in the law.
