ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has decided to investigate corruption allegations and misuse of authority against former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) in its recent judgment has already directed the NAB to proceed against Musharraf for his alleged corruption and misuse of authority during his tenure.
Col (retd) Inam, who is also convener of Ex-Servicemen Legal Form, said he was not only told that the Bureau has decided to initiate probe against Musharraf but the top NAB bosses also expressed their satisfaction over the evidence relating to Musharraf’s wealth and about his alleged misuse of authority. “This is admissible evidence,” Col (retd) Inam quoted one of the top NAB officials as commenting over his evidence.
The IHC, last month, in its order had directed the Bureau to proceed against Pervez Musharraf for his alleged corruption while holding the office of the president of Pakistan. The direction came from a division bench of the IHC comprising Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb. The IHC had declared that the NAB had the jurisdiction to investigate General (retd) Pervez Musharraf for his assets beyond known sources of income, corruption and corrupt practices.
