Court cancels Fawad's arrest warrant

RAWALPINDI:

An anti-corruption court in Rawalpindi on Monday cancelled the arrest warrants for former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry, which had been issued earlier due to his repeated non-appearance in a graft case.

The court expressed strong displeasure over the investigation team's failure to submit the challan, despite being summoned multiple times over the past two years.

Presiding Judge Khawar Rasheed reprimanded the investigating officers for the prolonged delay and directed them to submit the challan by July 17, warning that further negligence would not be tolerated.
