Accountability Court gives last chance to Ishaq Dar to appear on Dec 4

November 29, 2017

  ISLAMABAD, Nov 29 (INP): The accountability court on Wednesday directed former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar to appear before it to face assets beyond known sources of income reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). During the hearing the corruption case against Senator Ishaq Dar, the court ruled that the proceedings related to the seizure of the former finance minister's surety bond would take place on December 4. The decision came after Dar's bail guarantor asked the court for more time to produce the former finance minister in court. As Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir began proceedings, Dar's bail guarantor Ahmad Ali Qudoosi was a no-show. Court officials shouted his name outside the courtroom but he still did not appear. The court then went into a recess to give time for Qudoosi to appear. INP/LK/AH
