NAB mulls completing Musharraf trial in one month

ISLAMABAD – The chairman of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) justice (r) Javed Iqbal on Tuesday reportedly instructed his officers to complete the trial against the former president Pervez Musharraf in one month.

The accountability watchdog has decided to approach Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to seek details regarding the case against the former dictator.

The antigraft-watchdog Chairman asserted that the Bureau had adopted the policy of ‘seeing case not face across the board under its “Accountability of All” policy.

The National Accountability Bureau’s executive board had earlier decided to investigate allegations against former military dictator Pervez Musharraf for “holding assets beyond means”.

The NAB executive board would also investigate the former president for “wrongful use of power”.

Earlier, Supreme Court had suspended its interim verdict permitting former president Pervez Musharraf to submit his nomination papers for General Elections 2018.

Musharraf’s lawyer maintained that his client intends to return to Pakistan but is unable to do so due to the present circumstances.

All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) Secretary-General Dr.Amjad said earlier that the return of Musharraf was delayed after he failed to restore his passport, adding that he (Musharraf) will now seek another date for appearance in the Supreme Court.
