KARACHI: The Special Court of Customs Taxation and Anti-Smuggling put off the hearing of three cases till January 04, pertaining to fraudulent import of pharmaceutical raw material that caused millions of rupees loss to the national exchequer.
Judge Syed Faiz Rasool Rashdi adjourned the case due to absence of the counsel for the accused.
