Attorney general had no right to forward case to NAB, says Arsalan

Requests for NAB chief, Malik Riaz's son-in-law to be made party to case.

ISLAMABAD: Arsalan Iftikhar, in one of four pleas submitted to the court, said that Attorney General Irfan Qadir did not have the right to forward his case to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and that in doing so, he did not properly follow the orders of the court, Express News reported on Friday.

Expressing mistrust in the attorney general, Arsalan requested in his plea that a judicial officer perform an inquiry into the case.

In other pleas, the chief justice’s son requested that the court make NAB Chairman Faseeh Bukhari and Malik Riaz’s son-in-law Salman party to the case as well.

Earlier, the attorney general had written a letter to the NAB chairman asking him to conduct an investigation into the Arsalan Iftikhar case after the court had ordered him to take action in accordance with the law.
