The suspect has been wrangled for the past 19 years, Justice Khosa lamented.
"There is not even an evidence of the designation based on which an allegation of corruption has been levelled on the suspect."
"What does NAB actually do?"
Does NAB only want to make cases, the CJP questioned stressing that the anti-graft body has to also prove the case and ensure punishment as well.
Justice Khosa went on to add that people are under mental stress due to NAB's attitude.
