They were also directed to submit their replies till November 2 after Zafar Ahmed Qureshi, retired investigation officer of the case, appeared and stated that he had written at least ten letters to the high-ups for cooperation in the case. The three-member bench comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Tariq Parvez resumed hearing of a suo motu case related to the NICL scam along with other pending issues. In the pending contempt of court matter against former DGs of FIA Qamar Zaman and Malik Iqbal, the Chief Justice instructed Attorney General Molvi Anwarul Haq to seek replies from them as the bench wanted to dispose of the issue. He said that they had already reserved a verdict against Malik Muhammad Iqbal, former DG of FIA. The former high-ups of country's premier investigation agency had been facing contempt of court for their alleged role in suspension and transfer of Qureshi, then Additional Director General of FIA, tasked to investigate the case by the apex court, who stood retired on September 30 The bench also granted permission to Wasim Sajjad, counsel for Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain, to seek instructions from his clients over the pending application regarding allegations levelled by former FIA investigation officer against the Chaudhrys family. He was also probing involvement of Chaudhry Moonis Elahi, son of former Punjab chief minister, in the case. Qureshi had stated before the court that he faced life threats from Chaudhrys of Gujrat. Dr Babar Awan, counsel for Moonis Elahi, appeared and said that his client had been acquitted by Special Judge Central of the allegations, therefore, for the time being, he was not pressing his application. At the outset of proceedings, Zafar Iqbal Qureshi appeared and said that under the court's directive, he had submitted three reports dated September 6, September 22 and September 29 before retirement. He said that Zulfiqar Ali, Director of FIA Lahore and Waqar Haider, Director Legal of FIA Lahore during his suspension period wrote a letter to the bank for de-freezing of Rs 25 million account of Moonis Elahi. He said that he had written letters to the Secretary Interior and DG of FIA about the illegal and fraudulent act and asked for registration of criminal cases but he did not receive any response. Blaming his high-ups for not extending cooperation in the investigation, he said that if he had been facilitated, he would have completed the probe. He said that a report from Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) UK, about bank accounts of Habibullah Warraich, Mohsin Warraich, Beenish Khan and Tahreem Elahi, accused in the scam, was also missing and no inquiry had been conducted. He said Rs 420 million had yet to be recovered from the accused persons while Rs 630 million had been recovered. The Chief Justice questioned how it was possible that an accused was acquitted while the other co-accused were behind bars? He asked the Attorney General to explain what was happening? The AG expressed his ignorance about such reports. Azam Khan, Director Legal of FIA, apprised the bench that a property worth Rs 410 million had been seized while no case over missing SOCA report had been filed so far.
