ISLAMABAD: An Accountability Court of Islamabad Wednesday adjourned hearing against former finance minister Ishaq Dar till October 3, in a reference pertaining to the assets beyond known sources of income.
Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir conducted hearing on corruption reference against Dar filed by National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The three co-accused nominated in the case including Saeed Ahmed, Mansoor Raza Rizvi and Naeem Mehmood appeared before the court.
During the court of proceeding, Saeed Ahmed’s counsel Hashmat Habib Advocate continued cross-examining with prosecution witness Mohsin Amjad and asked details regarding the bank accounts submitted by the witness.
The witness said the first account was opened on December 28, 1994 and this foreign account was closed on March 16, 2006. The last transaction in that account was done on August 28, 1995, he added.
Amjad said no investigation was initiated from the bank staff regarding those accounts. He had informed his senior about the difference of signature on passport and bank account form but no action was taken accordingly, he stated.
The defense lawyer said if the signature of five accounts were not common then it could be assumed that those were the fake accounts.
The witness replied that he never stated that those accounts were fake.
NAB’s Deputy Prosecutor Imran Shafiq objected over the defense sides’ query and argued that these question were irrelevant with the prosecutor witness.
Later, the court adjourned hearing of the case till October 3.
