NAB receives order to resubmit reference against Ishaq Dar

Islamabad (Staff Report): The Accountability Court returned the corruption reference against Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), on Tuesday, asking the anti-graft body to resubmit it after necessary changes. 

The two of the three references against the Sharif family had already sent back to NAB requiring resubmission after addressing the court's objections, on Monday. 

However, the scrutiny of the fourth reference, related to the Azizia Steel Mills, is under way. 

NAB submitted additional documents to the accountability court’s registrar office on Monday, where the process of scrutiny of the references against the Sharif family was under way.

According to the sources, many pages of the references do not have page numbers mentioned and some of them have the wrong number printed even some documents are extra and some necessary documents were not attached.

The court has given time to the registrar office until September 14 to completely scrutinise the documents and submit them for hearing.

It is pertinent to mention that NAB submitted four interim references against the Sharif family and Dar before the accountability court, on September 8.
