ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Monday sought reply from National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on a petition, seeking production of former president Asif Ali Zadari in Park Lane bail case. Zardari’s counsel Javed Iqbal pleaded before the court that his client was in NAB’s custody since June 10, under physical remand. He stated that Zardari should be produced in his bail case to meet the standard of justice.
He argued that it was also necessarily to get aware about the health condition of former president arrested by NAB in fake accounts case.
He prayed the court to order NAB officials to produce his client before the court in his bail case on next hearing.
NAB prosecutor Sardar Muzafar Abbasi contended that former president was in NAB custody till June 21, adding the accused had also not sought any exemption from hearing from this court.
The court ordered NAB to submit answer on Zardari’s production petition before next hearing on June 24. A division bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhter Kiyani heard the case filed by Asif Zardari’s legal team.
