LHC summons NAB chairman in contempt case

LAHORE(National times)- The Lahore High Court on Wednesday summoned the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman in person on September 15 in a contempt of court petition, directing him to appear with the complete record. A two-member bench headed by LHC Chief Justice Aalia Neelum heard the contempt petition filed by Advocate Ahsan Abid. The petitioner argued that Khusro Bakhtiar and Hashim Jawan Bakht had accumulated illegal assets. Despite filing a request with NAB for inquiry and a court order, NAB did not act on the complaint against them. He requested the court to initiate contempt proceedings against the NAB chairman for defying the court order. Chief Justice Aalia Neelum inquired who had appeared on behalf of NAB, to which the government lawyer replied that no one had appeared. Subsequently, the Lahore High Court summoned the NAB chairman along with the record and adjourned the hearing until September 15.
