KARACHI: Provincial anti-corruption court judge Rashida Asad issued non-bailable warrants (NBW) of arrest against a former senior civil judge and rent controller, Anees Ali Khatri,  a record keeper of the court, Aslam Khan and a former Shershah bank branch manager Nizamuddin in a case of misappropriation and fraud.

The case was registered against them on the orders of the then District and Sessions Judge (East) Qaiser Iqbal as, during an inspection, it was found that the accused allegedly transferred money amounting to Rs1.05 million fraudulently.

The case was registered by the Anti-Corruption Establishment in 2000 and the case’s charge sheet was submitted on Friday. After perusing the charge sheet and the report by the investigating officer, the court ordered the issuance of the non-baliable warrant against the accused who reportedly are absconding.
