ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor in the corruption reference against former finance minister Ishaq Dar informed the court on Friday that the bureau would file supplementary references against the accused on Monday.
Earlier, the prosecution witness Inaamul Haq recorded his statement before the court while property documents for Dar’s wife and son Ali Dar were also furnished before the court.
The NAB has sought additional time to record the statement of the investigation officer (IO).
Two prosecution witnesses were expected to record their statements in the accountability court hearing the corruption reference.
Dar, a close aide of Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif, is accused of possessing assets disproportionate to his declared sources of income. A reference against him was filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in light of the Supreme Court’s July 28 verdict in the Panama Papers case.
In the last hearing, on February 14, NAB had informed the accountability court that it planned to file a supplementary reference in the case.
The prosecution had also pleaded the court to issue warrants for the production of its last witness, Inamul Haq, as he had once again failed to appear in court to record his statement.
The court had not issued the warrants but gave the last warning to Haq to appear in court and adjourned the hearing.
