ISLAMABAD, June 24: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi to produce former president Asif Ali Zardari before its bench in the next hearing pertaining to the Park Lane Case.
A two-member bench comprising of Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani presided over the hearing of the application, and subsequently issued Zardari’s production orders.
On June 17, the former president filed an application in the court, asking the court to allow his personal appearance in the hearing of the interim bail plea in the case.
The application mentioned that in order to meet the requirements of justice, it is important that Mr Zardari is allowed to appear personally for the bail application, and in this regard, it pleads with the court to order the NAB to allow him. The NAB Rawalpindi has already issued arrest warrant of Mr Zardari in the Park Lane case. The former president had filed bail applications in eight different investigations pertaining to the fake bank accounts being probed by the accountability watchdog.-NNI
