Petitioner’s Counsel Sardar Ishaq pleaded before a divisional bench of the LHC that the ANF had not registered an FIR against the legislator when the petition was filed. But now that the FIR has been registered, the petition stands ineffective.
“Now, as the ANF has registered a case against Abbasi in the drug quota case, the request is made for the withdrawal of the petition,” the counsel said.
He further contended that the drug quota obtained by the MNA for his pharmaceutical company in 2010 was totally legal as it was obtained in accordance with the law.
The petition was filed against the harassment of the legislator and employees of his pharmaceutical company by the ANF.
ANF Investigation Officer Abid Zulfiqar also submitted a report before the court stating that Abbasi obtained an illegal quota of 500 kilograms of Ephedrine and a case has been registered against him accordingly.

Poor Hanif Abbasi is being targeted because of his association with PML(N). Establishment and pro establishment elements are hellbent to discredit N League.
This is the same Hanif Abbasi who hurl allegations on others. Who knows how much money from Ephedrine has gone to his political bossesHe always join hand with Faisal Raza Abdi to malign other parties like PTI. I agree with "Thought Felon" PMLN and PPP are the two sides of same coin.
@Moulvi Nawaz Shareef: This means you didn't really folow me up with my criticism of every thug of the land from Arsalan Iftikhar Chaudhry s/o the sitting Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhry (and the role the father has played in this murky business) to Nawaz Sharif or not so sharif family to Zardari and also the one with claims of being the cleanest of them Imran Khan with his blackened face with surreptitiously using the 'Trust' money for speculative purpose qith questionable gang of thugs in the background.
Man you got to follow me up with my grienvances because I'm a victim of these gansters and their designs like the rest of the 98% of the people of Pakistan.
What a shame , the man that spent hours on tv calling others corrupt, using foul language ,defending the crooks, is a petty thief himself Typical PMLN hipocracy . they wanted gilanis blood Now it is their turn
A severe revenge by Shaikh Rasheed.
Sardar Ishaq is counsel of Arsalan and Hanif Abbasi. Links???
If Shiekh Rasheed is behind this investigation as Abbasi claimed, then Shaikh Sahab did a fabolous job to Pakistan.
@Uza Syed: Nice to see that you are criticizing any one other then PTI
Hanif Abbasi why did you withdraw the petition, why indeed? We thought that now you would force an apology from the AFN. On the contrary, you withdrew the damn petition whereas the ANF guy Investigation Officer Abid Zulfiqar is stating, actually insisting that you, Abbasi, obtained an illegal quota of 500 kilograms of Ephedrine. Didn't anyone tel you that 'Drug' is a nasty thing to get entangled with and no one has any sympathies or guts to come forward and defend or protect a 'drug' peddler. Let's see, how ANF handles your crime and what our courts have to say about you and your activities Mr. Clean Politician, as far as I am concerned, and hopefully many others, I want to see you frying in the 3rd class jail and be spared sound of your unpleasent shrills about / against everyone and his neighbors dogs.
