Ishaq Dar gets permanent exemption from court appearance in assets case

ISLAMABAD: In an accountability court on Monday granted permanent exemption from court appearance to Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in an assets case.

Federal Minister Dar appeared before an accountability court in Islamabad on Monday in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reference where he filed for permanent exemption from court appearance.

Court accepted Ishaq Dar’s plea for permanent exemption from appearance while the court also sought a reply on the assets de-attachment and acquittal applications at the next hearing.

Earlier in September, an accountability court suspended Finance Minister Ishaq Dar’s chronic arrest warrants until October 7, saying the court would scrap the arrest warrants when the accused presents himself before the court.
