LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Tuesday sought comments from the Anti-Corruption Establishment director in a petition seeking registration of a case against an Irrigation Department executive engineer (XEN) accused of corruption.

Petitioner Malik Mansab Ali had submitted that the ACE director should be asked to prosecute Hasan Abid Zedi, an Irrigation Department XEN, for charges of embezzlement of funds.  He accused the suspect of having sold off the scrap from a department facility for Rs7 million without a public auction.
