Summary Two-member bench of Lahore High Court issued written verdict
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Lahore High Court issued written verdict on Wednesday concerning Defence Housing Authority fraud case.
Dunya News received a copy of the verdict which stated that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) should take minimum time to file complete reference. It also stated that the accountability court should allow the suspect full chance to submit his evidence.
The LHC affirmed that locking up suspects and delaying the process is against the law. “NAB was found to end corruption according to law. It should quickly compile investigation”, the court ordered.
Lawyer of alleged criminal Hammad Arshad told court that neither his client is being treated lawfully nor the investigation was conducted on merit. He said that the actions were biased and the court should order unbiased investigation.
On the other hand, NAB’s lawyer said that the suspect provided lesser land as compared to alloted which he divided into four parts. Moreover, the land has no road access. In this way, he stated that the court should dismiss charges against suspect Hammad Arshad.
The court heard arguments from both ends and ordered NAB to reinvestigate the DHA city land fraud case.
