During the 1960’s, the Adjutant of the college was
always a captain from the Pakistan Army. Pakistan Navy
was thus represented by a “Naval Officer” of the rank of
a Lieutenant Commander. It was only in the early 1970s
when Pakistan Navy took over the total management
control and the Army Adjutants came to an end and were replaced
by naval officers. The position of the Naval Officer was
abolished.
After leaving the college,
he continued his service with the Pakistan Navy and
finally retired as a Commander.
Two of his sons (Capt.PN Altaf
Nabi Dar, N-1/J and Cdre. Ayaz Nabi Dar 7663/A), and two
grandsons (Anwar Nabi Dar 97145/J and Ahsan Nabi Dar
99151/J) are Petarians.
