Suddle commission: Malik Riaz provided no proof to back allegations
Sources with knowledge of the report told Express News that a 30 page document has been dispatched to the Supreme Court detailing the progress of the commission so far.
Per the report, business tycoon Malik Riaz had alleged that Arsalan had usurped Rs340 million, but provided no proof to back up this claim.
The commission added that despite issuing five notices to the business tycoon, he had failed to make an appearance.
It urged to Supreme Court to make it binding for Riaz to appear before the commission.
Malik Riaz scoffs at 'Arsalan commission'
Reacting to the report, Malik Riaz said that he already had doubts that this was not the Shoaib Suddle Commission, rather the "Arsalan Iftikhar Commission", and he did not accept the one-man body. Hence, he never appeared before it.
Riaz said that he had submitted receipts of Arsalan Iftikhar's expenses in the Supreme Court on June 6, 2012. But the Supreme Court did not conduct any investigation then.
The business tycoon further alleged that Arsalan lived in a Portman Square penthouse which costs Rs7 million a month in addition to enjoying services of the best hotels in London. Riaz said that receipts and proofs of these expenses have been submitted to the Supreme Court, but no action was taken on them either.
He added that his lawyer is preparing further evidence against Arsalan.

Malik Riaz should not waste time. The case in London must be file. Hon'able Iftekhar Muhammad Chaudhry be also made a respondent.
This is one of those typical palace intrigues, which remain unanswered for ages. So let's have no expectations and move on.
One fails to understand why Uncle Judges are not ready to give fair trial to Mr. Riaz Malik? This is height of all time favoritism.
it's all just plain old bs
If anyone expected anything substantial to come of this he must be really naive.
Malik Riaz did not provide any evidence? Democracy really was the best revenge.
Malik Riaz did show up in front of commission and did apologize too for maligning it which ofcourse ET didn't cover. Furthermore he had every chance to present his evidence in front of commission, media or any other forum. He didn't so he should be given one last chance and if he fails then an example be made out of him and all that helped him.
Malik Riaz and All his backers in the establishment will definitely eat a humble pie! According to Asma Jehangir, "same people are behind Malik Riaz who had created PTI". Down with conspirators and their dirty games!! Long Live Judiciary and Long Live Pakistan !!!!
It is a shame to see this naked dance of nepotism and disgrace of judiciary
abu ka commission, nothing is unexpected
@Mirza...so you mean whatever you believe that is truth
Malik Riaz is today's alcapone. Where else in the world one sees 'petty thaikaydar" interfereing in the matters of state.
Malik Riaz should be prosecuted for making false allegations.
As expected Arsalan beta goes scott free.
Since he has not appeared, so how he would present the evidence?
What a shocking report! This is the surprise of my life.
