NAB gets the nod to reopen Sharifs’ cases

Nawaz n Shahbaz

ISLAMABAD - On the recommendation of a special committee constituted by National Accountability Bureau Chairman Admiral (r) Fasih Bokhari under the supervision of NAB prosecutor general accountability (PGA) to scrutinise cases against politicians, the NAB chief has signed an application requesting the Accountability Court to reopen three references against the Sharif brothers to contest a quashment petition that was filed by the Sharifs in the Lahore High Court in October 2011.
These references include cases of Hudaibia Paper Mills, assets beyond known sources of income and Ittefaq foundry (wilful loan default). The proceedings on cases against Sharif brothers were adjourned sine-die by the Accountability Court in 2001 when they were in exile. After their return, NAB filed an application for reopening the cases in 2007, which was granted, but these cases were later adjourned sine-die in 2010 by the Accountability Court with the direction that the trial could be commenced if an application signed by the chairman was submitted before the court.
The NAB chairman constituted a special committee to revisit all the cases pending against the politicians. The committee recommended filing an application under the signature of the NAB chairman for recommencement of these cases. The special committee is in the process of scrutinizing the remaining cases relating to the politicians and the findings/recommendations would be shared with the media accordingly.

    No personality is supirior over Laws of the state.Whoever is found guilty must be dealt with iron hands.In that corruption can be eliminated at least upto some least level.Corruption is not very common in Politics,but is also very very common in evert walk of our life.Quran majeed and holly Sunnahs are complete code of life and complete guidance,but Allas we have ignored them.now is the time to follow these traditions more effetvely and seriously,otherwise everybody will become corrupted.

    These brothers will pay InshaAllah.

  5. Mohsin says:

    I have a feeling this is all for show. Now that Mr Imran has emphasised the game that Rehman Malik keeps on playing every now and then. The NAB chap has to be seen to be doing something, even if nothing gets done….

  6. ASIM says:

    Never accountability Bearu headed by Naval chief(r) is a tool used for victimization.
    1st of all accountability should be started from Naval chief.

  8. Ali says:

    This is only victimization. Where were they in the last four years and why they are opening just before the election? Looks like Zardari and Imran in the same bed against sharifs.

    • Azim says:

      Guy why r u crying? Do u think corruption by Nawaz is better for country than corruption by Zardari?Infact Sharifs are ten times more corrupt than Zardari. They shud hv been taken to task long time ago, but thank policy of reconciliation.
