KARACHI: (HRNW) The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal to withdraw more than 100 inquiries assigned to one of its officers who showed negligence while investigating a case related to the allotment of plots carved out from a public park in Al Habib Cooperative Housing Society Scheme 33.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed during a hearing of a matter about the encroachment of the park noted that NAB had filed a reference against the accused who carved out plots from land allocated for parks and got them allotted to people but the investigation officer (IO) Ausaf Talpur knew nothing about the case.
When the bench inquired the officer as to why the accused named in the reference had not been arrested, he submitted that they had gotten bail from Sindh High Court. But on various queries of the bench, the IO indicated that he had no knowledge whether the bails were protective, or whether they had been confirmed or not.
