Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e- Azam (PML-Q) leaders filed a petition in Lahore High Court (LHC) challenging the powers of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman.
In their joint petition challenging NAB chairperson Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal, the Chaudhry brothers alleged that the NAB was an institution of political engineering and raised questions on its investigative authority.
Calling it a political revenge, the PML-Q leaders has urged the court to declare NAB’s move to reopen the case regarding assets beyond means illegal.
They requested the LHC to declare the NAB’s move to reopen the almost two-decade-old case illegal.
NAB has been involved in reopening similar cases against various other people as well, including Jang Group Editor-in-Chief Mir Shakilur Rahman, who was arrested by the anti-graft body on March 12 in relation to a property he had purchased from a private party 34 years ago.
