Hanif Abbasi was accused of misappropriating 500kg of the controlled chemical ephedrine, obtained in 2010, and allegedly selling it to narcotics smugglers.
During the hearing today, Judge Akhtar Bahadur issued notices to all the witnesses in the case and asked them to appear for the next hearing on November 12.
Abbasi denied these charges and said the case was based on ill-intent.
Earlier, the court had deferred the indictment of these accused as one of them was away to perform Hajj.
Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) had submitted a challan in the CNS court in the past and declared Abbasi, his brother and five employees of Grey Pharmaceuticals as accused.
