LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) sought a reply from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and its Inland Revenue Department on a petition against audit notices issued to Minhajul Quran.
The counsel for Minhajul Quran’s administration argued the institution regularly filed its tax returns and had its accounts audited.
He contended that after June 17 rioting in Model Town, the FBR had issued audit notices to the institution. He claimed that the notices were issued on political grounds and Munhajul Quran was being victimized politically. He said audit of an educational institution was against FBR’s rules.
The lawyer requested the court to set aside the impugned notices. At which, Justice Ijazul Ahsan sought a reply from the respondents by September 10.
The judge also sought the attorney general’s assistance on the matter.
