The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday opposed the acquittal plea of ex-president Asif Ali Zardari in Toshakhana reference and requested the accountability court to dismiss the case.
AC-III Judge Syed Asghar Ali heard the reference against ex-prime minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani and former president Asif Ali Zardari.
NAB, however, requested the court to grant it time for comments on acquittal pleas of co-accused Khawaja Anwar Majeed and Khawaja Abdul Ghani Majeed under the second NAB Amendment Ordinance.

The same court also adjourned the mega-money laundering reference against Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur till January 7.
