An accountability court on Wednesday extended the judicial remand of former Lahore Development Authority (LDA) director general Ahad Cheema till November 9, in Ashiana housing scam case.
According to details, Accountability Court Judge Amjad Nazir Chaudhry postponed the hearing of Ashiana housing scam case without any proceedings until November 9, as lawyers were on the strike. Hearing of the case will resume on Monday during which the defence counsel will cross-examine the prosecution witness in the case, said sources.
Earlier on September 8, an accountability court in Lahore had directed to produce more witnesses in Ashiana housing scandal case in the next hearing scheduled on Wednesday.
In the hearing, no witnesses had been presented before the court for recording their statements. The prosecutor of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had told the court that the witness excused appearing in the hearing due to the death of a relative.
