ISLAMABAD: Customs Appellate Tribunal on Monday adjourned the hearing of several cases scheduled to be heard by the benches headed by Chairman Justice (r) Malik Manzoor Hussain.
A number of cases, to be heard by division benches of tribunal, were adjourned following late arrival of the chairman at the Islamabad headquarters.
According to details, Customs Appellate Tribunal’s division bench, comprising Chairman Hussain and Member Technical, Ziauddin Wazir was scheduled to hear around 12 cases on the day.

It is pertinent to mention that the bench had postponed hearing of these cases for the second time. For the first, these cases were listed to be heard during first week of November and the bench could not hold hearing of said cases as the chairman could not reach Islamabad headquarters due to blockades of roads leading to Islamabad city following PTI call of Islamabad-lockdown.
It was second time on Monday when the tribunal had to postpone the hearing of majority cases supposed to be heard by the bench.
