An Accountability Court (AC) on Wednesday canceled the non-bailable arrest warrants issued for the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) of Islamabad and Haripur in the Bankers City housing scheme case, while upholding the warrant against the Rawalpindi DC.
In a separate embezzlement case, a civil judge rejected a request to extend the physical remand of the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the District Education Authority (DEA) and a co-accused cashier. Both were ordered to be sent to Adiala Jail on judicial remand.
Meanwhile, Civil Judge Waqar Ahmed Sidhu rejected the Anti-Corruption Establishment's (ACE) request for a three-day extension of the physical remand of former DEA CEO Amanullah Cheema and cashier Arshad Mahmood, who are accused in a corruption case involving Rs. 8 million. The court instead remanded them to Adiala Jail and ordered their production again on July 3. The investigating officer was directed to submit the charge sheet by the next hearing date.
The accused were presented before the court following the conclusion of a two-day physical remand.
