ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has admitted business tycoon Malik Riaz’s review petition against the formation of the Suddle commission in the alleged financial impropriety between Arsalan Iftikhar and Riaz and his son-in-law Salman Ahmed, for regular hearing, Express News reported Monday.
