The defence ministry and GHQ earlier informed the court that they had issued NOCs as well. The court had given the federal government a month to decide the case.
The Supreme Court had said that according to the law, only the federal cabinet can grant permission to an ex-government servant to seek or take up employment as an officer or servant of a foreign government.
General (retd) Sharif had sought the NOC to head the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition.
