Urea manure scandal
The Supreme Court rejected the bail plea of main accused Inamul Din in the urea manure scandal worth millions of rupees.
The same bench heard the case.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor said the accused established fake companies and took fake contracts.
The accused’s lawyer replied that the accused was abroad when the fraud was committed. “Inamul Din’s father forged his signatures and established the companies.”
Justice Ijazul Ahsan said, “You want to say that the accused should be released and his father be apprehended.”
The lawyer replied that the father had committed fraud; hence, “why should the son be punished”.
The NAB prosecutor said that accused Inamul Din was the central character of the manure scandal.
The court rejected the petition.

The same bench heard the case. During the proceeding, the NAB lawyer said bogus forms were used for making fake appointments. The accused’s lawyer said his client gave the approval according to the record available in the computer.

“It is the responsibility of the Grade 17 officer to verify and make payments. A seven-year-old child can also see the record, then what is the need of a Grade 17 officer?”
