An accountability court could not indict former president Asif Ali Zardari on Monday in the Park Lane reference being pursued by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
During Monday’s hearing, the PPP co-chairperson filed an application, through his counsel Farooq H Naek, requesting the accountability court to give him some time.
“You should have submitted the request earlier,” remarked Judge Azam Khan after receiving the application. To this, Naek responded by saying that he had to do research and take out records related to the case to defend his client.
However, NAB Prosecutor General Sardar Muzzafar Abbasi intervened and asked the court to issue a notice to them in the case. “We will argue today after 30 minutes,” Abbasi told the court.
