LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) sought answer from National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on the bail application filed by Collector Amir Rashid Shiekh who was held by NAB on committing fraud of Rs 200 million in wake of customs duty.
Yesterday, the two-member bench of high court under the supervision of Justice Mehmood Maqbool Bajwa heard the bail plea of the collector.
The counsel for appellant argued that Amir Rashid Shiekh has no links with prescribed scandal, adding that if subordinates of his client conducted any irregularity, they should be brought to table instead of his client.
He also pleaded the court to accept the bail application of Shiekh and order to release him.
After hearing the arguments the court ordered the NAB to file its reply in this regard.
It is important to mention here that NAB had started the inquiry against the spare parts importer company, Ashmasher Private Limited located in Badami Bagh Lahore and accused Collector Amir Rashid Shiekh of embezzling Rs 200 million customs duty.
