ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Auditor General of Pakistan to conduct audit of Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Lahore Office and 19 other departments and submit comprehensive reports in this regard till October 28.

A two-member bench comprising Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan and Justice Qazi Faez Isa heard the case.

During the course of proceedings, Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan asked the Additional Attorney General whether the audit of DHA Lahore department was conducted as it was directed by the apex court on previous hearing.

The Additional Attorney General informed the court that he was not aware if the audit of DHA Lahore office was conducted or not.

A representative of the Auditor General told the bench that the AGP office had written letters to DHA Lahore and other departments for audit of accounts but their responses were not received yet.

He appraised the court that the department would start audit proceedings after receiving replies from these departments.

The court directed the AGP office to submit reports till October 28.
