KARACHI: The wife of Moazzam Ali Khan, a prime suspect in a murder case, has approached the Sindh High Court (SHC), seeking de-blocking national tax number (NTN) and Web Based One Customs (WeBOC) User ID of Comnet Enterprise.
Sadia Bano, wife of Khan, submitted that the NTN of the Comnet Enterprises, run by her spouse, was blocked due to which several shipments, which were lying at the Air Fright Unit (AFU) of the Jinnah International Airport, were not being released. She said the company had paid all custom duties but despite that the consignments have been detained, causing huge loss to the company.
Therefore, she prayed to the court to order the relevant authorities to de-block the NTN after obtaining required documents along with specimen signature of the suspect, who is in custody of FIA. The court was further requested to direct the customs authorities to release the consignments.
A division bench of the high court headed by Justice Sajjad Ali Shah, issued notice to the federal government and customs authorities to file their response to the petition. The hearing of case was put off till September 02.
