RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Accountability Court acquitted business tycoon Malik Riaz and his son Ali Riaz in a land grabbing case on Saturday, Express News reported.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed an application in the accountability court calling for Riaz and his son to be acquitted in a fraud case regarding 1,401 kanals of land.

Accepting NAB’s application, the accountability court wrapped up the case and acquitted the two accused.

Riaz, speaking to the media outside the court, said that he has forgiven everyone involved in the case.

Earlier, Riaz and his accomplices were booked by the Anti-Corruption Establishment in two FIRs on the charge of acquiring 1,401 kanals of land near Rawat on fake and forged documents in 2009.

@kala_bacha: "A gift of Bilawal house Lahore full fill commitment today. Mr president never break the promises."

For your statement to be true, it would mean that your judiiary is beholden to the President. Why then do you think it took up memogate? Why do you think it actually removed Gilani?

No. If at all there is some unfairness in the judgment, it could be a deal where Malik Riaz may have agreed to not bring forward additional bribery cases against the CJ's son.
